Just like our "Heart Bay" is a mashup of two Carolina bay planforms, the current offering is a 3/4 km long bay composed of two smaller planform shapes. Our interpretation is that one bay was created first, and the second one was deposited over it. Since the more northerly bay has an existing faint rim trace across the bay floor, this is likely the 2nd in the development. The two planforms are slightly offset, and close inspection shows the tie points on each lateral wall.

"Boss Road" is my designation, signifying the name of the NW-SE road extending into the bay from the lower right.
