About Buffalo
Buffalo sits in the hill country of Anderson County, about 4 miles northeast of Petros, with Oliver Springs about 7 miles to the southeast and Coalfield about 9 miles to the southwest. The area is part of the broader Cumberland Plateau foothills, with winding rural roads connecting small clusters of homes to these neighboring towns. Nearby map points include Moores Camp, Tioga, Braytown and Fork Mountain, all within a few miles and sharing the same wooded, low-density landscape. Most daily errands mean a drive into Petros or Oliver Springs, where local shops and services serve this part of the county. The terrain is marked by ridgelines and creek hollows typical of this section of East Tennessee, giving the area a wooded, open-land character rather than a dense town layout.

The surrounding area, including Moores Camp, Tioga, Braytown and Fork Mountain, shares the same scattered, low-density layout. Local roads link these small communities onward to Coalfield and the wider Anderson County road network.
