A man-shaped effigy mound in a park 4 miles (6km) NE of the town of Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin. The figure is about 64 metres by 16 metres and part of this mound has been destroyed where the nearby road has cut through the effigy's legs.
There are now no other man-shaped mounds left in Wisconsin. Early explorers documented several similar effigy mounds around the state, but the others have since been destroyed. One was near LaValle, also in Sauk County.
