Buffalo anchors itself firmly within the rugged, undulating terrain of the Appalachian foothills, where the horizon is defined by the distant, hazy silhouette of McCune Ridge. It lies 24.2 miles southeast of Chillicothe, OH (from Chillicothe, OH: bearing 132°T), and is situated 3.1 miles north-northwest of Jackson. Salt Lick Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the landscape just a mile away, its waters moving with a quiet gravity toward the deeper basins of the region. Nearby, the quiet waters of Lake Katharine offer a stillness that contrasts with the dense, shadowed depths of Eisnaugle Hollow. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, particularly as evening light thins into a pale, translucent gray over the Coalton Wildlife Area, which blankets the immediate surroundings in a quiet preserve of scrub and timber.

Buffalo persists as a quiet node of industry and extraction, shaped by the hard realities of a landscape that once demanded labor from the deep earth. The proximity of Richland Furnace State Forest hints at the charcoal and iron heritage that defined the local economy, long before the modern pace of life slowed to its current, measured gait. Residents move through their days with a steady, unpretentious efficiency, mindful of the remnants of the industry that pulled wealth from the ground. While the hum of machinery has faded, the character of Buffalo remains tied to the soil and the persistent, slow growth of the surrounding woods, where the silence is broken only by the occasional passage of a train or the sudden, sharp movement of wildlife in the brush.
