2010 Map of Putnam South

About this map

The town of Putnam anchors the northern edge of this Callahan County landscape, positioned along the vital transportation corridor defined by the I-20 Access Rd. South of the community, the terrain is defined by a dense network of country roads, such as FM 880 and FM 1864, that connect isolated homesteads and ranch lands. This rural character is punctuated by several water management features, most notably La Reata Lake and its corresponding La Reata Dam, alongside Putnam Lake and Putnam Dam. The drainage pattern is heavily dictated by north-flowing waterways like Brushy Creek, Battle Creek, and Cooper Creek, which carve their way through the cattle country of central Texas. At the southeastern corner, the small settlement of Atwell represents the quiet persistence of agricultural communities in this region, linked to the wider area by FM 3265 and Co Rd 467.
