Buffalo River (Tennessee) - Source

Source

The Buffalo rises in northern Lawrence County. Both the North and South Forks are crossed by U.S. Highway 43, the North Fork several times as it parallels that highway for about 3 miles (5 km). The confluence of these two forks about a mile west of that highway is considered to be the head of the Buffalo.

Famous quotes containing the word source:

    Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
