Buffalo: US 16 - Southwest

About location

Buffalo straddles Clear Creek in northern Wyoming, and its position at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains made it a service centre between the high plains and mountain country. It is the seat of Johnson County, with a compact downtown where brick commercial buildings recall the town’s cattle-ranching era. The Occidental Hotel, opened in 1880, remains a prominent link to that frontier history. West of town, the Bighorn foothills rise toward the Cloud Peak Wilderness, while the surrounding ranch country connects Buffalo to the working landscapes of the Powder River Basin. The town remains a practical base for journeys through the Bighorns and a stop on routes across northern Wyoming.

Wyoming
Region Wyoming

Wyoming stretches from the Montana border to its frontiers with Colorado and Utah, encompassing the high Rockies, broad basins, and Great Plains. The Continental Divide crosses the state, while the Wind River and Bighorn River drain contrasting sides of its interior. In the northwest, Yellowstone National Park—established in 1872 as the world’s first national park—and Grand Teton National Park place geothermal country and sharp mountain relief at the centre of Wyoming’s identity. Ranching remains integral to its open-country culture, alongside communities shaped by railroads, energy, and outdoor travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
