Buffalo Salt Works is located on the west side of the Smoke Creek Desert, north of Salt Marsh.

Overton (1947) reports that Buffalo Springs Salt Works was established in 1879 and that it produced 250 tons annually prior to 1896. Overton states that Director Carpenter reports that Mr. Cornell, living at Sheepshead Station knows where the Buffalo Salt Works is "close by" "[1].
