Blanchard and Putnam County
Blanchard is associated with Putnam County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Blanchard by land and water
The Census records 0.12 square miles of water within Blanchard, or 0.3% of its total area. That share is close to Putnam County’s 0.4%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Blanchard township has 275.8 times the land area of nearby Gilboa village (0.13 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
