Buffalo Springs Ranch serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Washington County, where the topography is defined by the drainage patterns of the Buffalo Cr Reservoir and the Twentytwo Slough. This 2016 survey illustrates a traditional Western grid of township and range boundaries, underscored by a network of rural routes such as Co Rd 55 and Co Rd CC. The placement of the ranch near the reservoir suggests the importance of water management in this arid cattle-country environment. The land is neatly partitioned into sections, with the county road system following these survey lines to connect various ranching operations across the northeastern Colorado plains.
