Open question

April 5, 1830

Did the Rock River's spring flood of April 1830 reach the Standing Post (Ke-Chunk) village site, beside the river on the property?

Why it matters: The village was lived in at the time: a Bureau of Indian Affairs decision of 2020 places Standing Post among the two Ho-Chunk villages in the Beloit area in 1830. A flood over the village ground would be part of the people's story on this land.
