Buffalo Lake serves as the primary hub of this 2013 survey, where the established town grid meets the agricultural expanse of the Minnesota prairie. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems, including Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Ten, which support the surrounding farmland. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, from the Evangelical Cem near the town center to more rural locations like Knopke Brown Cem and United Brethren Cem. Water management is a central theme of the terrain, visible in the conversion of wetlands like Buck Lakebed and the winding course of High Island Cr. The survey also marks the boundary between Renville Co and Sibley Co, bisecting a region tied together by the prominent corridor of Us-212.
