2015 Map of Otis

About this map

Otis Reservoir dominates this landscape, its waters broken by Gate Island and several points, providing a focal point for the surrounding Berkshire hill country. The village of Otis sits west of the reservoir, flanked by high ground such as The Pinnacle and Otis Ridge. The drainage of the West Branch Farmington River and the Fall River define the local valleys, where small settlements like Cold Spring and North Otis are connected by a network of local roads. Genealogy researchers will find interest in several local landmarks, including the Beech Plain Cem and West Center Cem. The area’s geography is further characterized by numerous small ponds and brooks, such as Larkum Pond and Dimmock Brook, reflecting the region’s glacial history and its legacy as a destination for seasonal and year-round residence near East Otis and Algerie Four Corners.
