About this map

Buffalo serves as the central hub of this Cass County landscape, situated where the Northern Pacific railroad tracks cross the prairie. The town's layout is clearly defined against the surrounding agricultural townships of Tower, Buffalo, Hill, and Howes. The Maple River meanders through the western half of the survey area, its winding course providing a natural break in the geometric section lines that dominate the region.

Infrastructure of the late 1960s is well-documented, from the Buffalo-Alice Interchange on Interstate 94 to the specialized Grieve Landing Strip in the north. The presence of several Sandpits and a prominent Radio Tower indicates the local industrial and communications footprint of the era. This map is particularly useful for researchers tracing the development of Missouri River Basin lands, as it was produced as part of a specific federal development program.
