Re: Serpent Mound: I was leafing through this book yesterday and it gives locations for a number of other serpent-shaped mounds and earthworks throughout North America:

Rosemary Ellen Guiley, Atlas of the Mysterious in North America

Incidentally, there's a lot of other interesting (and often strange) info in this book. Although the author generally takes politically-correct issue with the hypothesis that North American burial mounds might be of European origin, p. 62 mentions that one North American cairn occurs at a known Norse site in Newfoundland, L'Anse aux Meadows. Crossreferencing of this site with the author's accompanying map shows that the site is near another burial mound dated to 2000 BC, the L'Anse Amour Burial Mound, and is also south of a Labrador stoneworks site at Nulliak Island that resembles sites in New England which the colonists attributed to the Celts.

Looks interesting. However, it is 9 years old. That's getting to be a long time in this business these days. LOL. How could you go wrong for $5.50 though.
