The inveterate fieldman and surveyor, T. H. Lewis, visited northeastern Nebraska in his quest for archaeological sites in the fall of 1890. He recorded four earthworks there, only one of which (Ponca Fort, 25KX1) was recorded by later workers. His field maps, published here for the first time, are accompanied by comments on the success the author has had in relocating these earthworks. Only Ponca Fort is clearly identifiable today. One enclosure, near the town of Wynot, may be part of the “Bad Village” of the Omaha; another, near Hartington, has been plowed level and yields no surface remains. The fourth earthwork, near the town of Ponca, cannot be located.
