Georgia's Big Prehistoric Mound Near Fort Gaines
About twelve miles below Fort Gaines a mound is described as the largest in the United States and likely built by ancient mound builders. Its base spans over two acres, it rises about 100 feet, and oak trees cover its sides, attesting to its age. A prior dig from the top yielded a jawbone, but no thorough modern exploration has occurred.
