Chattahoochee Landing Mound Group submitted by Flickr : Chattahoochee Landing Mound Historic site: This mound is believed to date back to between 900AD and 1500AD, to have originally looked like a flat-topped pyramid, and assumed to have been the residence of a chief priest. It was one of seven mounds in the area. The site was abandoned by natives when the Spanish arrived in 1674. The site then became Nicolls Image copyright: DB's travels (Do...

This prehistoric mound is the largest of seven that once stood here at River Landing Park. Believed to date from the Fort Walton time period (A.D. 900-A.D. 1500), its original appearance was that of a flat-topped pyramid. Archaeologists believe that a high status individual such as a chief priest once lived on its top.

The mounds formed the center of an important community that was occupied for thousands of years. Its location just below the confluence of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers was ideal for trade both up and downstream. Two of the other six mounds are still visible and archaeologists have located the probable sites of the other four. They formed a semi-circle around this large mound and all were likely used as platforms for homes or other structures. The site was abandoned when the first Spanish explores arrived here in 1674.
