2015 Map of Buffalo

About this map

Buffalo serves as the focal point for this 2015 survey of Harding County, South Dakota. Situated at the junction of several local routes like Tipperary St and Airport Rd, the town is surrounded by a drainage network that feeds into the S Fork Grand River. The landscape is defined by its water resources, with Lake Gardner to the northwest and several seasonal waterways including Rush Cr, Slick Cr, and Buffalo Cr cutting through the terrain. Evidence of local infrastructure and community history is visible through the Harding County Airport and the Buffalo Cem located just south of the town center. This area reflects a classic Western ranching and prairie settlement pattern, where named gravel roads such as Gilbert Rd and Gardiner Lake RD connect remote homesteads across the wide sections of T19N and T18N.
