BUFFALO GAP

BUFFALO GAP. Buffalo Gap is a break in the Callahan Divide just north of the community of Buffalo Gap in east central Taylor County (at 32°17' N, 99°49' W). It was named for the herds of buffalo that trampled a well-defined trail through the gap before the area was settled. The gap, with an elevation of 1,898 feet above sea level, is 400 feet below the nearby summits of the Callahan Divide.
