I knew there are some mounds in Tennessee but I didn't know how close by until I got a call at work from an archeologist looking for topographic mapping of the Mound Bottom area in Cheatham County. Had to do a search on the internet but once I knew where to look a large mound was quite obvious on the topo map. This mound was protected by the State in 1973. There are others in the area but they're on private land.
As far as mounds being a refuge from flood waters, it's possible but for this mound on the Harpeth River probably not very likely. Although the mound is in a floodplain there is a lot of natural high ground nearby.
