Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This "Fig. 1" drawing appears on 33 and seems to be described on page 34:
  • "On the high bluff between Spoon River and Walnut Creek, on the south line of the southeast quarter section 6, township 11 north, range 56, are three mounds of some importance. The first is a common mound 3½ feet high, with a base diameter of 40 feet. This mound is three rods north of the sectional line between sections 6 and 7, and 60 rods west of the east line of section 6. (The land is owned by Henry Jacques.)" There is no range 56, either east or west. "Between Spoon River and Walnut Creek" puts it in in sections 6 and 7 of township 11 north, range 5 east: Millbrook Township, Peoria County, Illinois, just northeast of Elmore.
  • "Eight feet east of this is a mound 62 feet long and 19 feet wide, with the greatest length from southwest to northeast."
  • "Twenty rods east of this, on the sectional line, is an oblong mound, measuring up to 64 feet from west to east, and 47 feet from north to south, with an apparent height, above the surrounding level, of 4 feet."
