2020 Map of Bluestem

About this map

The small settlement of Bluestem serves as the focal point for this section of Lincoln County, situated near the headwaters of Lords Cr and Bluestem Cr. The landscape is defined by the gradual descent into Bruns Flat and Lords Valley, where the drainage patterns of Coal Cr carve through the terrain. In the northern reaches, Tanner Lake provides a localized water source amidst a grid of rural roads named for early area families, including Scharff Rd, Jahn Rd, and Lindstrom Rd. Transport and accessibility are highlighted by the presence of Hanes Airport in the southwest corner and the historic path of Old White Stone Rd, reflecting the region's long-standing agricultural and aviation character.
