A highly civilized group, the Poverty Point inhabitants built a complex array earthen mounds and ridges overlooking the Mississippi River floodplain. The central construction consists of six rows of concentric ridges, which at one time were five feet high. The five aisles and six sections of ridges form a partial octagon, with the diameter of the outermost ridges measuring three-quarters of a mile. In 1962, Poverty Point was designated a National Historic Landmark.
