Newark Earthworks - Octagon
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Misc. Earthwork
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 25th Nov 2007
Newark Earthworks - Octagon submitted by bat400 on 25th Nov 2007. This photo was taken from the observing platform that is set on the east side of the connecting "road" between the circle and octagon in the "Octagon" earthwork site. Looking southwest toward the circle. As you can see, the enclosures are far too large to get a good idea of the geometry without actually walking the site.

Alligator Mound
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 7th Dec 2007
Alligator Mound submitted by bat400 on 7th Dec 2007. Alligator Mound. What you cannot tell from satellite views and most photos of the site is that there would have been a clear view of the effigy from higher ground immediately to the west of the mound. In this photo you can just make out the irregular lines of the mound through the recently planted trees in the upscale neighborhood that surrounds the mound.

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.

Lake Okeechobee
Date Added: 12th Sep 2010
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: United States (The South)
Visited: Yes on 2nd Oct 2008
Lake Okeechobee submitted by bat400 on 2nd Oct 2008. Lake Okeechobee. Taken from the eastern shore of the lake, north of Belle Glade. Heavy rains from the 2008 Hurricane season have increased the water levels slightly, but drought conditions still are reducing the lake depth in some areas. As you can see, Okeechobee is too wide to see the opposite shore.
