One of the problems to getting this located is that the "official" state archeologists insist that such a thing never existed. I learned of this from a Ho-chunk scout that lived in this area, & worked for the Ho-chunk nation mapping caves & cave paintings who said such a place is mentioned in their oral tradition. & he was suggesting that it was a pyramid which was the the central plaza of a city of sorts, like a small-scale Cahokia.

It can probably be located from space with infra-red. Can you put in a

There's rumored to be a 10th century step pyramid built by the
Mississippi mound culture about 25 miles from here which I've never
been able to locate. This could be the ticket if I knew what I was
looking for.. somewhere around here:

I wonder how the two approaches might intersect and validate claims
of amateur researchers ...

After 25 years of gritty field work, UNC Chapel Hill archaeologist
Scott Madry has dug up a new way to hunt for ancient ruins --
without leaving home.

Last year, Madry read how an Italian man accidentally discovered
the outline of an ancient Roman villa while looking at his house
on Google Earth.

Madry explores how a Celtic people called the Aedui lived in
France for about three centuries starting about 300 B.C.

Madry got out his laptop, fired up Google Earth and looked over
lands in Burgundy, near his research area. Immediately, he spotted
features that, to his trained eye, resembled outlines of Iron Age,
Bronze Age, ancient Roman and medieval residences, forts, roads
and monuments.
