2020 Map of Buffalo Springs

About this map

Tequesquite Cr and its winding drainage system define this high plains landscape in Harding County. The map shows a transition of water sources and rural passage, anchored by the namesake Buffalo Springs and the convergence of Mosquero Cr. This arid territory is marked by a network of ranching and access routes including Salt Lakes Rd and the descriptive Back Rd, which trace the contours of the drainage basins. The sparse distribution of named features reflects the remote character of this region, where life and transit revolve around the subtle relief of the creek beds and rare permanent water sources. Local history researchers can use this survey to examine the established boundaries between township and range lines, such as t17n r30e and t17n r31e, which organize the expansive terrain.
