2017 Map of Buffalo City

About this map

The confluence of the Buffalo River and the White River marks a primary focal point of this Arkansas landscape, where the Buffalo National River meets the larger waterway near Buffalo City. This area is characterized by dramatic river bends and significant elevation changes, noted by landmarks like Stair Bluff and Hudsons Bend. The settlement pattern follows the meandering river valleys and ridge lines, with small communities such as Old Buffalo, Buford, and Cartney connected by a network of rural routes like Gilbert Rd and Riverside Dr. Local history is preserved in sites like Haskell Cem and Nelson Cem, which sit above the river plains on higher ground. South of the rivers, the terrain rises into the Ozark National Forest, where the landscape is defined by deep hollows and named peaks including Hathaway Mtn and Prince Fred Knob.
