1986 Map of Sugar Loaf Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Sugar Loaf Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this segment of the Nebraska Sandhills, overlooking a landscape defined by intermittent water sources and vast cattle ranges. The 1986 survey reveals a sparse human footprint in the southern portion of the county, where the drainages of Mutton Creek and Lost Creek wind through the shifting terrain. Evidence of early settlement and ranching life is found in isolated features such as a remote Cem, providing a valuable point of reference for genealogists tracing family lands in this region. To the north, the broad expanse of Dogtown Flats suggests the open, level character of the plateau. This provisional map, compiled from 1980s aerial photography, documents the vital network of wells and tracks that sustained agriculture in a high-plains environment where surface water was often seasonal.
