About this map

Bluestem Lake and its corresponding Bluestem Dam form the centerpiece of this Osage County landscape. The hydrology is defined by the branching network of Bird Creek, with its northern, southern, and middle forks converging as they flow toward the southeast. This survey captures a rural Oklahoma setting characterized by specialized water management, shown by several named reservoirs such as Oknoname 113114 Reservoir and Oknoname 113112 Reservoir.

Pawhuska Lake sits further south, secured by the Pawhuska Dam near the headwaters of Clear Creek. Regional transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Pawhuska Municipal Airport and a grid of rural routes including Co RD 4070 and Co RD 5105. The terrain breaks in the southeast at Cedar Canyon, illustrating the varied topography of the Osage Hills region before the land levels toward the creek bottoms.
