East Hobolochitto Indian Mound

A circular formation in Picayune might be an Indian Mound. It is 180 feet in diameter and 4 1/2 feet tall at it's highest point. It rises like an ant mound from the swampy shores of the East Hobolochitto Creek. The amber creek runs through the north side of Picayune. If you look at the formation pictured below you will see the round mound just above the ridge. 




My friend and I forgot to bring the mosquito spray and a machete on our trek, so by the time we reached the mound we were being ate alive by monster mosquitoes and torn to shreds by sticker bushes. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time or patience to snap a National Geographic shot of the Mound but you can see the land rising in the distance of the photo below.
