ME 10. Tyler Pond and Joe Pond. Acreage: 100-300. 



Location: Summer Haven area, Kennebec County; Augusta Quadrangle; S of 

 Messalonskee Lake; about 8 miles N W of Augusta; reached via Rts. 1 1 and 27. 



Description: Surrounding Tyler and Fairbanks ponds, this area is believed to be 

 the outstanding area for glacial formations in Maine, containing as it does 

 several somewhat diverse water areas, potholes, eskers, drumlins, outwash areas, 

 areas of assorted till, and other glacial phenomena of outstanding development 

 and concentration. The area includes an unusual variety of plant life from rich 

 upland to marsh and sphagnum bog. Less than 2 miles to the northward, 150- 

 300 acres about Joe Pond, the next pond to the west, offer a most desirable area 

 with less developed eskers, but better developed pothole bog pools, and as- 

 sociated cold sphagnum bog plants. 



Encroachments: None as yet, but can be expected any time. 



Ownership: Probably private.
