About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates the high plains of Union County, providing a stark backdrop for a sparse network of ranching outposts and family landmarks. This landscape is defined by its isolation, where significant distance separates small settlements like Harris and McCarty. The terrain is punctuated by the prominent Sugarloaf Mountain, a distinct landform that stands near Sugarloaf Ranch.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific points of interest including the Mofax Cemetery along the boundary of the national grassland and the small namesake water body, Divine Lake. The map illustrates the 21st-century configuration of local transit, featuring rural routes such as County Rd C001 and C 37, which connect the scattered holdings of Burkes and other outlying homesteads across the open range.
