2011 Map of Forks of Buffalo

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork Buffalo River and South Fork Buffalo River forms the center of this Amherst County landscape, where the settlement of Forks of Buffalo sits at the junction of the waters. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and peaks, including Mount Pleasant and Turkey Mountain, which create a complex network of drainage basins for Horsley Creek and Puppy Creek. The land use appears split between the steep, forested elevations of the Blue Ridge and the more accessible valley floors where small communities like Sandidges and Allwood took root along the primary road corridors.
