Wayne Sand Dune

Figure 7: Sand dune in Wayne. This and other deserts in Maine formed as windstorms in late-glacial time blew sand out of valleys, often depositing it as dune fields on hillsides downwind. Some dunes were reactivated in historical time when grazing animals stripped the vegetation cover.
