Buffalo sits at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains, serving as the central hub of this Johnson County landscape. The town's grid is defined by a network of local thoroughfares like Upper Clear Creek Rd and Veterans Ln, while the Johnson County Airport occupies the northern plateau. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the intricate system of man-made waterways, including Sixmile Ditch, Crown Ditch, and Redman Ditch, which divert water from natural courses like Clear Cr and French Cr to sustain the high plains. Outside the developed center, the terrain is marked by seasonal drainages and geographic depressions such as Dump Draw and McVenry Draw. To the south, the landscape opens into broader drainages where Bull Cr and its tributaries, including S Fork Bull Cr, carve through the expansive ranch lands.
