Madison Township. In the same township, Sec. 19, is the highest 

 mound in the county, with an altitude of 43 feet. A fire on the Miamis- 

 burgh mound would be distinctly seen from the summit of this mound. 

 While this mound is not situated on the highest hill in the county, yet 

 its situation is seen to be better adai)ted for the puri)ose of a signal 

 station than any other spot, when the various earthworks it was in- 

 tended to jjrotect are taken into consideration. All the signal mounds 

 radiate from this one. It is located on a hill rising 400 feet above the 

 Miami. It overlooks the inclosure on Sec. 14, Wayne Township. A 

 fire on its summit could be seen from the mounds on Sec. 26, Wayne 

 Township ; Sees. 9 and 16, Saint Clair, and Sec. 22, Fairfield ; also from 

 the inclosure situated on Sec. 16, Fairfield. The three mounds on Sec. 

 9, Saint Clair, overlook the inclosure last named, also the one on Sees. 

 4, 5, 8, 9, Saint Clair ; the one on Sec. 30, Wayne, and that near Somer- 

 ville (Sees. 3, 4, 9, 10), Milford. A light on the same three mounds 

 (Sec. 9, Saint Clair) could be seen from the mound on Sec. 31, Milford, 

 which overlooks the inclosure on Sec. 36, Oxford Townshij). 



The mound on Sec. 20, Liberty Township, could be signaled from the 

 Madison, Saint Clair, or Fairfield mounds. From that point communi- 

 cation could be had with the mound on Sec. 24, Union Township, thence 

 to the mound on See. 14. The last named overlooks the inclosures on 

 Sees. 14 and 8, Union. 



Communication is established between the mounds on Sees. 16 and 

 19, Saint Clair, and from the latter to Sec. 12, E-oss, located within a 

 few rods of Fortified Hill Fort. This fort commands a view of the earth- 

 works on Sees. 10, 10, 15, and 8, Fairfield, as well as Sec. 13, Eoss. 



A light on the mound in Sec. 12, Ross, would be seen from the mound 

 in Sec. 21, and this by those in Sec. 30, Hanover, and 24, Reily, while 

 one in the last named mound would be visible from that on Sec. 22, 

 which overlooks the works just above the village of Reily. 



The mound on Sec. 21, Ross, overlooks the mound and fort on Sec. 8, 

 Fairfield, also the Cobrain works in Hamilton County, and the circular 

 works on Sees. 27 and 34, Ross. 



Jn Sec. 9, Union Township, and Sec. 15, Fairfield, were a series of 

 works overlooked by a mound on last-named section. A communication 

 could be had with this mound from several mounds on the west bank of 

 the river, notably such as the mounds on Sec. 12, Eoss, and 3 and 16, 

 Saint Clair.
