BUFFALO.
From: Handbook of Wisconsin by S. Silas, 1855
pg. 50-51
This County was organized in 1853 from Chippewa. It lies on the Mississippi River at the mouth of the Chippewa, and is rapidly filling up. It is at present but sparsely populated, and there is much good Government land to be had. The valleys of the Trempeleau and Buffalo Rivers are extensive and eminently adapted to agriculture--fine prairies, fine timber, well watered, and as yet almost entirely unoccupied, presenting one of the best openings for the immigrant to be found in the State of Wisconsin.
Waumandee City is the County Seat of this County, situated on the Mississippi, about 50 miles above La Crosse. It is a promising point of business, and will probably command the trade of this and the Northern part of Trempeleau Counties.
Buffalo is in the La Crosse land district, and consequently entries can only be made at the La Crosse office.

They should be of interest to genealogists because they show the locations of many places that no longer exist. Offsite link by Rick Hagen
