About this map

Buffalo serves as the focal point of this early 1960s Dallas County survey, situated at the intersection of regional transport routes. The town’s layout includes the local Courthouse and several mid-century markers such as a Drive-in Theater and the Buffalo Airport. To the north, the small settlement of Pumpkin Center appears along the highway, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the winding course of the Niangua River.

Religious and educational landmarks are scattered throughout the surrounding townships of North Benton and Grant, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. Notable sites include New Hope Ch, Cotter Tabernacle, and Riverview Ch, alongside the Engle Sch and Union Home Cem. The landscape is further characterized by numerous waterways like Greasy Creek and Durington Creek, which feed into the primary river system, crossed by the Watermill Bridge.
