2009 Map of Sugarloaf

About this map

Sugarloaf serves as the namesake landmark and central reference point for this portion of Comanche County. The landscape is defined by the high plains of southwestern Kansas, where a sparse network of section-line roads and intermittent drainage patterns shape the rural layout. Outside of the primary elevation at Sugarloaf, the terrain is relatively open, typical of the shortgrass prairie region before it transitions into more broken country to the south. The 2009 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey indicates a quiet, agricultural character where the vast majority of the land is dedicated to ranching and dryland farming, with human settlement concentrated around a few scattered farmsteads and the primary roadway traversing the northern section.
