The Putter and Sprielder bos probably had one management in the 16th century until 1687. The maalschap was turned into and unnamed society in 1885, then containing 351 ha. The buurschap and maalschap probably became separated over time and there might have been a separate putter maalschap, which is mentioned in Sloet Sr., Bijdragen tot de kennis van Gelderland. Evidence of this has not been found.
