Horseshoe Lake Mound
Horseshoe Lake Mound submitted by bat400 : The wooded area may indicate the remnant of the platform mound at this village site. Photo by bat400, 20Aug2017. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Artificial Mound in Madison County, IL.
A rectangular platform mound near a known village site. This was a Mississippian village from the same time period of Cahokia and was probably a satellite community.

The village was originally situated on an island in the middle of a Mississippi River meander lake. Due to changes in lakeshore location, the site currently lies on the northeast shore of Horseshoe Lake. The location given here is approximate. A wooded copse may indicate the remnant of the mound, but the area is on private land off the public accessible Horseshoe Lake Recreation Area and may not be accessed. You may view the area from public roads to the east of the site.
