Map of Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Ohio. About a dozen beige spherical mounds of varying sizes are contained within a rounded-square border. A green-dashed line representing an interpretive trail travels around the square and down the middle, from the visitor center on the left over to the Scioto River on the right.

Extended Description

A white loop on the lower left of the map represents a Parking area. Text next to the path where it trails off the bottom reads, “To State Route 104, US Highway 35, and Chillicothe.” Sites are labeled with numbers and located as follows, from left to right:

Visitor Center: A short trail leads from the Parking area up to the Visitor Center, marked by an orange sideways-T shape. An interpretive trail leads around the park’s perimeter from here, as well as straight through the park.

Earthen Walls and Borrow Pits: At the left-side border of the rounded square.

Mica Grave Ground: Just inside the rounded square.

Mound of the Pipes: Near the bottom left corner of the rounded square.

The Central Mound: About halfway through the rounded square, below the central line of the trail.

Ceremonial Structure: Below the Central Mound.

Inside a Mound: In the center, right off the interpretive trail.

Hopewell Settlements: Outside the right edge of the rounded square, near the west bank of the Scioto River.
