2022 Map of Putnam

About this map

Putnam and Sunset anchor this section of the western Oklahoma plains, where the landscape is defined by the transition between the rolling uplands and the drainage basins of the Deer Cr and Beaver Cr systems. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line road network, such as Central St and various east-west routes like E0830 Rd, which navigate around the irregular drainages of Horse Cr and Sorter Cr. This agricultural and ranching environment is punctuated by small community landmarks including Merck Cem and Liberty Cem, which serve as vital genealogical markers for local families. Water management is a visible priority here, evidenced by the presence of the Barnitz Cr Site 15a Reservoir and Eenst Reservoir, reflecting the region's reliance on captured surface water for local utility and land use.
