Physiography <br /> <br />The Buffalo Peaks WSA is dominated by East Buffalo <br />Peak and West Buffalo Peak in the south central <br />portion of the area, with elevations ranging from <br />about 9,200 feet to 13,326 feet on West Buffalo <br />Peak. The area lies along the north-south ridge <br />between the Arkansas and South Platte River <br />drainages, with gentle terrain along the broad <br />ridge top and steeper terrain on the slopes above the <br />Arkansas River and South Park. Most of these slopes <br />are less than 40 percent, although some slopes in <br />excess of 70 percent occur adj acent to the Buffalo <br />Peaks and along the South Fork of the South Platte <br />River. <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />" (,..."810 <br />f 10 <br />
