Jaketown Mounds is one of the most fascinating sites on the Mississippi Mound Trail and one of the most important for understanding early Native American mound building in North America. Located approximately four miles north of Belzoni, Mississippi on Highway 7, the site of Jaketown is home to some of the earliest Native American earthworks in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Of the 18 mounds originally recorded here, only Mounds A, B and C are still visible. However, a number of earthworks are now buried under ten feet of flood deposits, and archaeologists estimate that portions of as many as 13 mounds may still be present.
