About this map

Buffalo serves as the primary hub of this East Texas landscape, where the intersection of regional thoroughfares and small-scale water management projects defines the community. The town is flanked by numerous private and municipal water features, including Cain Lake, Heil Lake, and the tandem Harcrow Lake Number 1 and Harcrow Lake Number 2. These reservoirs, managed by structures like Cain Lake Dam and Raines Dam, point to a history of water conservation and land use in the Leon County area.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds and settlements such as Golden Acres. Historical interment sites including Sand Hill Cemetery, Graham Cemetery, and Nettles Cemetery are preserved here, tucked between the tributaries of Buffalo Creek and Bliss Creek. The map documents the intricate network of county roads that link these rural landmarks to the North Fork Lower Keechi Creek drainage system.
