It was said of Professor Hinsdale that, although he had a scholarly interest in disseminating knowledge, he exercised caution when it came to specifics. Both in the booklet on The Indians of Washtenaw County, and in his magnum opus, the Archaeological Atlas of Michigan, Hinsdale carefully fudged the locations of unexcavated mounds and other valuable sites that might otherwise become a source of temptation to souvenir collectors or amateur diggers. While supposedly the maps reflected everything the Professor knew, the actual locations may have been several degrees -- or perhaps miles -- off to one side or the other. Ergo, caution is the watchword even now to any reader who attempts a too-literal reading of this map. (Per Wystan
