1968 Map of Buffalo Springs

About this map

The confluence of the Roanoke River, Dan River, and Hyco River defines this landscape in southern Virginia, where the waters broaden into the John H Kerr Reservoir. The topography is a complex network of ridges and drainages, such as Aarons Creek and Buffalo Creek, which separate small agricultural settlements and rural communities. In the late 1960s, these uplands remained largely wooded and rural, punctuated by local landmarks like Fork Ch and St Marks Ch, reflecting a deep-seated community structure tied to the land.
