2021 Map of Buffalo Prairie
USGS Topo · Published 2021About this map
Buffalo Prairie and the surrounding farmland of Rock Island and Mercer counties are defined by a network of creeks and sloughs that carve through the Illinois landscape. The settlement of Marston and the community center of Buffalo Prairie are linked by rural county roads like Co Hwy 17, while the area's pioneer history is preserved in several burial grounds including Edgington Cem, Duncan Cem, and the Buffalo Prairie Latter Day Saints Cem. The drainage patterns here are complex, with waters flowing through Eliza Cr, Copperas Cr, and Deerlick Br toward the Illinois Slough. The placement of these watercourses and the Rock Island Co Mercer Co boundary line illustrate the long-standing geographic divisions in this agricultural region.
