2009 Map of Otis

About this map

Otis serves as the central hub of this Rush County landscape, where the town's residential grid is organized along streets like 5th St, Ellen Ave, and Diel Ave. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding paths of Eagle Creek and Blood Creek, which cut through a predominantly agricultural environment. This 2009 survey highlights the local community's heritage through the presence of established burial grounds, including the Lutheran Cemetery and the Seventh Day Adventist Cemetery, both located south and west of the town center. The map illustrates a highly organized rural road network, with numbered routes like NW 170 Rd and NW 130 Ave forming a systematic grid across the prairie. The proximity of Boot Creek to the eastern edge of the settlement suggests a landscape shaped by these intermittent watercourses that drain the Kansas plains.
