Earl Pat Miller of Ellsworth asserts a bluff side rock formation between Hager City and Bay City is an Indian sign marking a hunting boundary between Sioux and Chippewa. He cites family lore from Red Wing and Bay City relatives, noting buffalo hunting camps and a long shared border to prevent war over food supplies.
