About this map

The town of Buffalo serves as the central hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of East Buffalo Creek. The town's layout is clearly defined by local streets such as Micro Lite St, Fife St, and S Pacific St. To the north, the Buffalo Cemetery provides a focal point for genealogical interest near the banks of Bloody Run.

The hydrology of the region is dominated by the Wilson County State Lake and the Wilson County State Lake Dam, which create a significant water feature east of the primary settlement. Moving south through the quadrangle, the terrain is shaped by the confluence of several waterways, including West Buffalo Creek and Woodruff Branch, as the map tracks the locations of smaller communities like Rest and Benedict. This survey reflects the agricultural and water-management patterns of Wilson County in the early 21st century.
