2011 Map of Bluestem

About this map

Bluestem sits at the heart of this agricultural landscape in Lincoln County, where the intersection of rural road networks and natural watercourses defines the local geography. The area is marked by the winding paths of Bluestem Creek and Lords Creek, which cut through the terrain alongside distinctive features like Bruns Flat and Tanner Lake. Transportation and land use are central to the map's character, evidenced by the presence of Hanes Airport and a grid of family-named roads such as Mayberry Rd E, Scharff Rd N, and Deking Rd E. A notable piece of Cold War-era legacy is preserved in the naming of Old Missile Site Rd N, hinting at the region's strategic importance in the mid-20th century. The drainage patterns of Coal Creek further illustrate the watershed's role in shaping the high-plateau environment of eastern Washington.
