About this map

The town of Buffalo serves as a critical junction in Leon County, where the Missouri Pacific Railroad intersects with major regional thoroughfares. This 1965 survey, updated with 1982 revisions, reveals a landscape defined by small-scale community landmarks and extensive water networks. Local family and church history is well-represented by sites such as Cedar Creek Ch and Davis Chapel, along with several outlying burial grounds like Sand Hill Cem and Nettles Cem.

Beyond the central settlement, the terrain is carved by numerous tributaries including Bliss Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Copper Creek. The prevalence of Gas Wells throughout the southeastern quadrant indicates the growing industrial footprint of the energy sector on the traditional rural environment. Educational and civic life is anchored by the Jr High Sch and Bennett Sch, while natural features like Harcrow Lake and Red Oak Lake punctuate the wooded creek bottoms.
