This picture gives a pretty good idea of the size of the big mound: [https://cdn.britannica.com/52/101052-050-23D44BCC/Monks-Mound-structure-Cahokia-Mounds-State-Historic.jpg](https://cdn.britannica.com/52/101052-050-23D44BCC/Monks-Mound-structure-Cahokia-Mounds-State-Historic.jpg) (you can see a car driving by and two people at the top for scale)

This view from the top shows how close you are to the Mississippi River and Saint Louis: [https://i0.wp.com/normaltonomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG\_9620Edited.jpg?fit=848%2C565](https://i0.wp.com/normaltonomad.blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/IMG_9620Edited.jpg?fit=848%2C565)
