Size of Original Shellmound

As you stand here, look back toward where you were on Bay Street when we showed you the peak of the mound. Then imagine it extending north for about the size of a football field. Then turn completely around and look toward the parking lot you see to the southeast bordering on Horton Street. Now imagine it as high as you are here on the bridge. Now you can begin to get a sense of how massive this Ohlone structure was!
