User:MTHarden/sandbox/Sugar Loaf Mound (Vincennes, Indiana)

Sugarloaf Mound is the sole remaining Mississippian culture platform mound in St. Louis, Missouri. The mound covers three city blocks, measures approximately 40 ft in height, 100 ft north/south and 75 ft east/west and sits just outside St. Louis. It is located on the former border between St. Louis and the autonomous city of Carondelet. In 1809 the mound was used as a survey landmark when St. Louis was incorporated.

It was purchased by the Osage Nation in 2009 in order to preserve it.
