2013 Map of Forks of Buffalo
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Buffalo River serves as the central artery of this Amherst County landscape, where the confluence of the N Fork Buffalo River and S Fork Buffalo River defines the settlement of Forks of Buffalo. The terrain is shaped by numerous named ridges and peaks, including Buck Mountain, Turkey Mountain, and Mount Pleasant, which guide the path of early thoroughfares like the Lexington Tpke and Buffalo Springs Tpke. Smaller hamlets such as Sandidges, Allwood, and Willow are situated along these historic transport corridors, often near water sources like Thrashers Cr or the Thrasher Lake impoundment. The distribution of homes and rural roads, such as Emmanuel Church Rd and Sugar Hill Tunnel RD, reveals a settlement pattern deeply influenced by the narrow valleys and significant vertical relief of the Blue Ridge foothills.
