2016 Map of Bluestem Lake

About this map

Bluestem Lake and the surrounding drainage of Bird Creek dominate this 2016 Osage County survey, illustrating the hydrologic character of the Oklahoma prairie. The landscape is defined by the sinuous forms of these reservoirs and the deep cuts of Cedar Canyon, showing how modern water management and aviation have shaped the region west of the county seat. The Pawhuska Municipal Airport occupies a central plateau, situated between the north-flowing waters of Middle Bird Cr and the larger catchment of Pawhuska Lake.
