Indiana Department of Geology and Natural History, 1883

In Section 33, Monroe Township, and in VanBuren Township, near Black Creek, are a number of small mounds similar to those described. One or two small ones are situated on the bluffs, east of the river, near Marion. The largest in the county, however, were situated near where the courthouse now stands, and in the city cemetery.

Three mounds are located in the IOOF cemetery near the banks of the Mississenewa River. The second mound is visible in the background.
