"While mounds can be found throughout North America, Wisconsin claims the largest concentration—once numbering between 15,000-20,000, based on cataloguing efforts that date back to the 19th century.” Kingsley Bend Indian Mounds

(Aztalan)

Ross Milo Curry, the Dells area historian, reports in his Indian historical books that there were once 10,000 to 15,000 mounds in Wisconsin estimating that there were about 1,000 in the Wisconsin Dells alone. “It may come as a surprise to some people to learn that the Dells area was once in the center of what might be called a lost civilization.”
