Usage examples of "mound city".

The mound city I'd noticed from the rocket was a mile or so to the right and I was curious enough to want to take a look at it.

A week ere close of the w aft the Carondelet cast off on her final voyage and steamed up the Mississippi River to Mound City, Illinois, where she was decommissioned.

Ganesa's arms were filled with the fruits and she hastened back to the mound city to deposit the burden in a lofty storage room within one of the ziggurats.
