Buffalo and Dunklin County
Buffalo is associated with Dunklin County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Buffalo by land and water
The Census records 0.37 square miles of water within Buffalo, or 0.9% of its total area. That share is close to Dunklin County’s 1%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Buffalo township has 64.3 times the land area of nearby Cardwell city (0.63 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
