1970 Map of Buffalo SE

About this map

The town of Buffalo serves as the focal point for this western Oklahoma landscape, situated near the headwaters of Buffalo Creek. The regional transport network is dominated by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts a distinctive diagonal path across the rolling plains. Industrial activity of the early 1970s is evidenced by several extractive sites, including a Gravel Pit, a Caliche Pit, and a Gas Well, reflecting the area's reliance on geological resources. For family historians, the presence of the Hopewell Cem in the northeast and High Point Cem further south provides specific points of interest for genealogical research. The map also captures a small Airfield on the outskirts of the main settlement, highlighting local aviation infrastructure in Harper County during this era.
