7-acre river near Putten. The river tops out around 4 ft. The depth chart comes from published agency bathymetric survey data, so the contours are survey-derived rather than computer-modeled. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Traced from the shoreline, Puttenerbeek runs 7 acres with 3.2 miles of edge. With a shoreline index of 8.4, this water is all arms and coves — edge habitat well beyond its acreage. All of it is shallow-zone water — under ~15 ft across the entire basin, so the food chain has the run of the place. Figure 1.3 mi of water from one end to the other, 0.3 mi at the beam. The nearest mapped water is Randmeren-oost, 8 mi to the southwest.
