How to Use This Putnam, Oklahoma Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Putnam, Oklahoma. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Oklahoma or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Putnam.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Putnam emerges from the expansive, red-earthed plains of Oklahoma as a quiet sentinel of the high prairie. It lies 27.1 miles north-northwest of Weatherford, OK (from Weatherford, OK: bearing 327°T), and is situated 23.5 miles north of Clinton. Deer Creek winds its way through the immediate landscape, carving a subtle path through the tall grasses and providing a slow, rhythmic pulse to the terrain. The horizon stretches wide and unencumbered, where the light at dusk bleeds a bruised plum color across the sky, turning the dry soil into a vast, glowing expanse. To the west, the distant profile of Sugar Loaf Mound anchors the horizon, a solitary form that punctuates the otherwise level sweep of the earth. The air here carries a persistent, dry clarity, often stirred by a wind that seems to possess a memory of the vast, open spaces it has crossed to arrive here.

Putnam functions as a modest waypoint in a region defined by the endurance of agriculture and the legacy of the oil industry. The rhythms of life are dictated by the seasonal cycle of the fields and the distant, mechanical nodding of pump jacks that mark the extraction of the earth’s deep resources. Residents look toward the Dewey County Wildlife Management Area for a sense of untamed space, while the nearby Barnitz Creek Site 15a Reservoir offers a still, reflective surface amidst the persistent heat of the summer months. History here is felt in the steady persistence of the people, who maintain a quiet connection to the land that has supported generations. In Putnam, the passing of days is measured not by grand events, but by the subtle shifts in the wheat horizons and the enduring strength of a life lived close to the soil.

About This Putnam Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Putnam, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 35.855601, -98.968427. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Putnam includes the ZIP code (73659), telephone area code (405), county seat of Dewey County (Taloga), and school district assignment (Taloga Public Schools).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
