2020 Map of Putnam Lake

About this map

Putnam Lake sits as a central water feature in this portion of Blaine County, where the high plains landscape is defined by its drainage coulees and distinct topographic rises. The land is marked by significant features like Haystack Butte and the elongated Putnam Ridge to the southeast. Waterways such as Myrtle Cr, Suction Cr, and Saint Johns Coulee illustrate the natural flow of the terrain toward lower basins. A network of rural routes, including Barney Olson Rd and Sand Cliff Rd, provides the primary access through these townships, tracing the paths of early ranching and transport lines across the northern Montana prairie.
