About this map

The Missouri River carves a complex course through this portion of Burleigh County, creating a landscape of river-braided lowlands and prominent uplands. Extensive floodplains known as Kenel Flats, Kimball Bottom, and Graner Bottom dominate the river valley, illustrating the shifting nature of the Missouri's channels and islands. In the south, the namesake Sugarloaf Butte stands as a distinct landmark overlooking the valley, while the Twin Buttes rise to the north.

Settlement patterns are represented by the small community of Huff near the southern boundary and the Lazy T Diamond Ranch further north. Cultural history is anchored by the Stewartsdale Cemetery, while the northern portion of the quadrangle shows increasingly dense rural road networks including Pleasantview Road and Sunrise Avenue. The drainage of Apple Creek enters from the northwest, contributing to the intricate hydrography of this riparian environment.
