1985 Map of Buffalo

About this map

The Beaver River and Cimarron River cut through the high plains of the Oklahoma Panhandle region, anchoring a landscape of ranching and early energy extraction. In the mid-1980s, the area around Buffalo and Laverne was defined by its expansive drainage networks, including Snake Creek and Willow Creek, alongside specialized infrastructure like the Aqueduct and various irrigation ditches. The southeastern portion of the map highlights unique geological and recreational features, specifically the subterranean depths of Alabaster Caverns and the adjacent Alabaster Caverns State Park.
