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.
