If you take the second picture in this last group, the ground rises fairly well and has always been dry, other than next to pond. It originally was wet there just about where It is 6-8 ft damp. The opposite side has a similar slope but there is section that extends back 20 plus feet and the ground is all wet, so I'd say the water table there is high or it has a place where ground water is flowing.
I hope that all make sense. I'll take a picture of that side and post it.
