2019 Map of Buffalo Springs

About this map

Buffalo Springs and the surrounding rural landscape of Halifax County are defined by the expansive waters of the John H. Kerr Reservoir, where the Roanoke River once flowed more narrowly between county lines. This 2019 survey captures a community deeply rooted in its ancestral lands, evidenced by a high density of family and church burial grounds such as Snead Cem, White Oak Fork Cem, and Dyer Cem near the settlement of Midway. The map provides a detailed view of the small hamlets of High Hill and Dryburg, connected by a network of named trails and country roads like Gold Mine Trl and Staunton Trl. Numerous small tributaries, including Flat Rock Br and Aarons Creek, carve through the terrain toward the reservoir, illustrating the local drainage patterns that shaped the placement of historic farmsteads and fields like Aaron Penston Field.
