Petroglpyh This rock art was found some years ago in a relatively large rockshelter near the Baraboo River in Juneau County. The shelter had formed along a fault-line in the local sandstone. Historic glyphs are common near the entrance, particularly on a flat panel on the north wall. Some date at least to 1907. Three large versions of "turkey track" glyphs were observed along the walls of the northern fork towards the rear of the shelter. These were probably carved by late prehistoric Native American artisans, as similar symbols have been found on rock art and Oneota ceramics across the Midwest.
