Buffalo Valley (Nevada) Explained

Buffalo Valley is a valley in the U.S. state of Nevada.

Buffalo Valley was so named on account of buffalo grass in the area.[1] There is a giant concrete arrow, a remainder of over 1500 built in the USA during the 1920s to enable US postal service aircraft navigate more easily prior to the addition of in-craft radio.[2]
