1969 Map of Bluestem

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Bluestem sits at the junction of industrial activity and the rolling landscape of Lincoln County, defined by its Grain Elevators and connection to the regional agricultural economy. The map reveals a transition in transportation, notably featuring an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the terrain alongside Bluestem Creek. This rail history is mirrored by the presence of small local settlements like Negus and Post, which once served as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads. The land itself is marked by distinct geographical features such as Bruns Flat and the elongated Lords Valley, while smaller infrastructure like Storage Bins and a remote Landing Strip highlight the practical requirements of mid-century wheat country. Water sources are vital but scattered, with named points like Tanner Lake and several springs providing the necessary resources for the cattle and crops found across these sections.
