1953 Map of Buffalo City
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
Buffalo City sits surrounded by the intricate wetlands of Dare County, where the Milltail Creek drainage network meets the wide expanse of the Alligator River. This 1953 survey, photo-inspected in 1980, reveals a landscape defined by water and low-lying topography, featuring a complex system of guts and bays like Sandy Ridge Gut and Boat Bay. The presence of Ruins and Piling near the creek suggest a history of human activity and industry along these waterways, while the Lookout Tower near East Lake provides a terrestrial landmark in the marshy terrain.
