The Builders of the Mounds Man-Mound Effigy Mound in Baraboo, Sauk County, Wisconsin The Man-Mound was probably the most impressive mound in all the effigy mounds we visited in Wisconsin. This mound was the largest we saw at 200-some feet long I believe and because of road construction, it was cut off at the knees. Again - preservation is something that can be seen here to have it's limits...
I will tell you that I believe it is a water panther (spirit) in man's form, (which from what I have read, water spirits were believed to be able to do.) I believe that because of the cat-like design (paws not hands, etc) as well as the horns. But hey - feel free to come up with your own theory...because nobody knows for sure!
