2022 Map of Buffalo Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Buffalo Lake serves as the primary hub of this agricultural landscape along the border of Renville and Sibley Counties. The settlement is characterized by a grid of streets including Main St and E Borden Ave, surrounded by a highly engineered water system designed for prairie drainage. Significant investment in local hydrology is evident through features like Judicial Ditch Number Fifteen and County Ditch Number Thirtyone, which navigate the flat terrain to manage runoff from the Buck Lakebed. For those researching regional family history, the map identifies several distinct burial sites across the townships, from the Buffalo Lake Cem near town to the more isolated Knopke - Brown Cem and Brack Cem. These markers, along with the United Brethren Cem, provide a clear spatial record of early rural congregations and homesteading patterns in the central Minnesota farmland.
