1986 Map of Buffalo Well

About this map

Christmas Lake Valley defines the western landscape of this high-desert region, where the prominent Burma Rim forms a sharp geological divider. This 1980s era survey highlights the critical importance of water access in an arid environment, noting specific points of survival like Buffalo Well, Midway Well, and Hansen Well. The land is networked by the historic Wagontire Road and more modern infrastructure such as the Steel Tower Trans Line. Sparse but essential water sources like South Buffalo Waterhole and Boilout Waterhole suggest a landscape primarily used for range or transit. The terrain is marked by the transition from the broad flats of Hansen Valley to the elevated benches above the rim.
