1973 Map of Buffalo Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Buffalo Springs and the surrounding High Plains terrain dominate this 1973 survey, capturing the landscape along the Oklahoma-Texas border. The map illustrates a high-desert environment where water sources like Coldwater Creek and Buffalo Springs were essential to early cattle ranching and settlement. Evidence of local habitation is concentrated at Thompson Grove, while the drainage patterns around the Alkali Lakes and Water Lake reflect the typical hydrologic cycles of the northern Texas Panhandle. Scattered wells and a Gravel Pit suggest a landscape geared toward rural utility and resource extraction. The proximity to the Cimarron and Dallam county line highlights the remote nature of this borderland area during the early 1970s, providing a clear record of the region's topography before more modern development or shifts in groundwater levels occurred.
