*** About Charles Mound: Located in the northwest of Illinois, Charles Mound is the state’s highest natural point at 1,235 feet above sea level. This modest hill is nestled on private property but is opened to the public several weekends each year, offering a panoramic view of the surrounding Illinois countryside. Its significance is not just geographical but also historical, as it represents the peak of a region predominantly characterized by its flatness. The mound's subtle prominence and accessibility make it a notable landmark for both tourists and locals, providing a unique vantage point and a serene escape away from urban sprawl.
