"Artificial Mound in Saint Louis County, Missouri.Sugarloaf is the last remnant of the Saint Louis earthen mounds. It was one of the southern most mounds in the area and lies on a ridge directly above the Mississippi River's west side, and south of the modern city's original center.Sugarloaf has been drastically reduced in size from two homes built directly on the mound and a major highway having clipped the side of the original structure. No focused excavation has ever been made, and even the age of the mound is unknown.Saint Louis's nickname, Mound City, came from a large Mississippian era mound complex, dating to the same era as the larger Cahokia city and mound complex (1050 - 1200 AD). These mounds on the west side of the river were destroyed over the years to make way for city of Saint Louis - most of the structures were used for fill dirt. Sugarloaf, an out lier that may not have been directly associated with the Mississippian complex, may date from the earlier Woodland era.The mound is on the National Register of Historic Places. "
