About this map

Buffalo and its surrounding prairie landscape are defined by a rhythmic grid of rural roads and the winding path of Buffalo Cr. This 2018 survey documents the southeastern edge of the settlement, where the municipal limits transition into vast agricultural sections. The local geography is marked by essential rural infrastructure, including the Buffalo Municipal Airport and a series of numbered reservoirs like 05908 Reservoir and 05909 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the placement of several community burial grounds that serve the Harper County area, specifically High Point Cem, Goldenrod Cem, and Hopewell Cem. The map's detailed road network, including routes like Ew 13 RD and n1940 RD, provides a precise framework for locating family homesteads and water features such as Glen Lake. This edition preserves the modern configuration of this High Plains environment before further shifts in land use or water management.
