2013 Map of Buffalo

About this map

The Tippecanoe River meanders through this agricultural landscape, anchoring a network of drainage infrastructure essential to the region's productivity. Small settlements such as Pulaski, Lakeside, and Headlee serve as local hubs, connected by a rigid grid of county roads. The importance of water management is evident in the dense system of named waterways like Ackerman Ditch, Budd Fisher Ditch, and Weltzin Ditch that lace the territory between the river and the town of Buffalo. To the east, Headlee Ditch and Dickey Cr drain the flatter terrain near the White-Pulaski county line. This geography illustrates the transformation of the Indiana interior into a highly managed rural environment, where natural river bends contrast sharply with the engineered straight lines of the surrounding fields and the localized industrial footprint of the Liberty Landfill.
