1970 Map of Buffalo

About this map

Buffalo serves as the focal point of this Northwest Oklahoma landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 183 and Highway 64. The settlement's infrastructure is clearly defined, featuring a prominent Water Tank, a Radio Tower, and a Roadside Park on its southern edge. This 1970 field-checked survey reveals an economy deeply tied to the land's resources, with a dense network of Gas Well sites scattered throughout the terrain, particularly in the southern and western reaches. An industrial presence is further marked by a series of Pipeline corridors and an Aqueduct crossing north of the town center. The physical environment is shaped by Buffalo Creek, which winds through the central portion of the map, while the surrounding area is punctuated by extraction points like the Caliche Pit and Gravel Pit, alongside a Drill Hole in the southeast corner. A Golf Course located southwest of the main town site offers a glimpse into the local recreational facilities of the era.
