2016 Map of Buffalo Creek

About this map

The N Wichita River cuts through this landscape, marking a rugged drainage pattern where Buffalo Cr and Cottonwood Cr converge near the southern boundary. This 2016 survey documents a sparsely settled region on the border of Cottle and King counties, where the economy appears centered on ranching and water management. Small settlements like Finney and Delwin anchor the rural road network, which includes FM 193 and FM 452. The presence of Dewees Tank, Hackberry Tank, and the named Water Canyon highlights the critical importance of water resources in this part of Northwest Texas. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of land divisions and property access via various county roads, such as Co RD 294 and Co RD 109, that crisscross the undulating terrain between the river's forks.
