Excerpt from Report on Tidal Investigations in Mystic River and Pond: Made by Order of the City Council of the City of Charlestown By examining the profile of the river it will be seen that above Medford Bridge the bed gradually rises from a level about that of low water mark of the bar bor to a point at Wood's Mill, 8} feet above that level, or some ll feet only below the level of high water; so that the bed of the river from Medford up to the pond would be bare at every low tide, like the flats on the sides of the river lower down, were it not for the small fresh water stream and which stream continues to flow down during the rising of the tide until near the end of the flood the backed-up fresh water occupying the bed of the river in the upper reaches, and if the tide is of sufficient height is forced back into Mystic Pond.
