Peaking at 1,235 feet, it is part of a gentle driftless area that escaped glaciation during the last Ice Age, resulting in unique geological formations. The mound is situated on private farmland, though the owners generously allow access on specific weekend dates during the summer months. This point offers panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and a unique perspective on Illinois' topography.
