Buffalo Springs serves as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico, where the drainage patterns of Tocito Wash and Salt Springs Wash dictate the movement across the terrain. These ephemeral waterways carve paths across the quadrangle, illustrating the complex hydrology of the region. Transportation in this area is defined by specialized roads like Indian Service Route 9657 and Indian Service Route 9653, which connect the small settlement areas with the broader infrastructure of the Fort Defiance Agency. Industrial activity is represented by the Trotz Construction Pit, highlighting local land use and resource extraction at the end of the first decade of the 2000s.
