About this map

Buffalo and the neighboring district of Goat Alley serve as the focal point for this survey of western Union County, where industrial and agricultural history converge. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Fairforest Creek and the Tyger River, with a dense network of local cemeteries including Swink-Little Cemetery and Murphy-Duncan Cemetery providing significant touchpoints for genealogical research. Transportation patterns are anchored by several notable crossings such as Murphy Bridge, Cedar Bluff Bridge, and the historic Bobos Ford.

Infrastructure development is evident at the Union County Airport-Troy Shelton Field and the Union County Fairgrounds, while the southern reaches of the map highlight recreational and utility lands like the Fair Forest Rifle Range and Sedalia Hunt Camp. Smaller settlements like Sardis and Tempie Hill dot the terrain, linked by rural corridors like Mudbridge Rd and Rices Chapel Rd, reflecting the long-established residential and farming patterns of the region.
