Wright-Holder Works
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jan 2008
Wright-Holder Works submitted by bat400 on 6th Jan 2008. Wright Holder works. Of several earthen enclosures, only the large rectangular one may be glimpsed from the public road. Given the lay of the land and the site being under the plow, it is difficult to make out the earthen wall from ground level. The property is private, with no public parking area.

Cahokia - Mound 66
Trip No.2 Entry No.10 Date Added: 30th May 2017
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Saw from a distance on 1st Jul 2008. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 2
Log Text: From aerial photos this is one of the larger mounds at Cahokia. And although it is not on an easily accessible footpath, it can be seen from Forest Blvd., south of the modern Cahokia park. It lies at the southern boundary of the city proper and is 430' by 170' (east-west by north-south) and 25-30 feet high.
In the early 1900's a raised road or causway could be seen extending north from this mound toward the central area of Cahokia. The causeway was more recently confirm by Lidar imaging.
The mound was excavated in the 1920's and a great unfilled trench through the mound can still be seen. This excavation was performed because it appeared that expansion by the nearby rail road was scheduled to completely level the mound. This did not occur.
The mound had been used for burials: both the ancient people of Cahokia and the more recent French colonists.
