Description


Lake Ridge Island Mounds

The Lake Ridge Island Mounds (also known as the Wolf Mounds I-IV) are a group of small hills in Logan County, Ohio, United States that have been thought to be Native American mounds. Located in an area of about 5 acres (2.0 ha) at the northern end on Lake Ridge Island in Indian Lake,:1, 2 the mounds are near the village of Russells Point[1] in the southeastern corner of Stokes Township.[3] State Route 368 passes a short distance to the east of the mounds, even weaving at one point to avoid them.[2]:2 The four mounds on the island are small, not reaching a height greater than 3 feet (0.91 m) or a diameter greater than 40 feet (12 m);[2]:2 they are small enough that they appear to be natural knolls.[4] A report produced in the 1970s observed that the mounds were in "excellent" condition at the time, never having been disturbed by artifact seekers.[2]:2
