Ancient Mound Sites of Louisiana: 20+ of "America's Pyramids" Revealed by LiDAR

Explore 21 ancient Native American mound sites across Louisiana through high-resolution LiDAR imagery. From Watson Brake and the LSU Campus Mounds to Poverty Point, Marksville, Routh Mounds and Bayou Grande Cheniere, LiDAR reveals monumental landscapes built hundreds—and in some cases thousands—of years ago. These images digitally remove vegetation to reveal subtle earthworks, mounds, plazas and other features that can be difficult or impossible to appreciate from ordinary aerial photography. Many archaeological sites shown are located on private or protected property. Please respect property boundaries and never trespass or disturb archaeological resources.
