About this map

High Point Cemetery and Hopewell Cemetery serve as important landmarks for genealogical research in this rural portion of Harper County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and a network of agricultural section line roads, including n1930 RD and e0150 RD. Modern water management is evident through numerous named impoundments such as Glen Lake and several numbered reservoirs like the Oknoname-05909 Reservoir, each supported by dedicated structures like the Glen Lake Dam.

Located southeast of the town center, the area includes the Buffalo Municipal Airport, providing a point of connection for this prairie region. The surveyor's work captures the transition between open drainage and engineered water storage, illustrating how local ranching and farming interests have modified the natural hydrology of the creek basin. The grid-like road system facilitates access across the undulating plains, connecting isolated homesteads and local infrastructure in the early 21st century.
