1953 Map of Buffalo City

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Buffalo City and the surrounding marshlands of East Lake define this 1953 survey, which was later photorevised in the mid-1970s. The map captures a landscape dominated by the winding path of Milltail Creek as it feeds into the Alligator River. While once a bustling lumber town, the area is shown here with numerous Ruins and Piling labels near Buzzard Roost, marking the remnants of former industry along the water's edge.
