Verona, WI has a prominent road named Nine Mound Rd. Suddenly curious about its origins, I went to some old plat maps (1873) showing 9 burial mounds in what is now the campus of Epic.
Even better, Lidar maps still reveal some of these mounds very clearly.

I did this the hard way, but this isn't exactly uncharted territory. You can also find more info online (but I had more fun doing it on my own).

"After wending their way down the valley for about three miles they came suddenly upon [...] an elevated prairie, and [...] to ten mounds, nine of which were circular, while one had the form of a mammoth. [They agreed to call] this beautiful spot Nine Mound Prairie."
For the record, yes, it is *that* bread, and it was delicious
