Buffalo Ridge is a ridge in western middle Tennessee, primarily located in Humphreys, Perry, and Wayne Counties. The ridge, which reaches over 800 feet in elevation, is located about a mile west of Linden, at its closet point.[1] Tree Farm Road runs the length of the ridge along the crest of the range.[1]
Topography
It runs north to south, forming the divide between the watersheds of the Buffalo River and Tennessee River.[2] Its numerous valleys create tributaries to the Tennessee River to the west and to the Buffalo River to the east.[2] Towards the Buffalo River, these tributaries include Coon Creek, Brush Creek, Hurricane Creek, Short Creek, and Cane Creek.[2] Towards the Tennessee River, these tributaries include Cedar Creek, Marsh Creek, Cypress Creek, Spring Creek, Lick Creek, Tom’s Creek, Roan’s Creek, Crooked Creek, and Blue Creek.[2]
