2018 Map of Otis

About this map

Otis sits as the primary settlement on this Central Kansas landscape, positioned along the border where Rush and Barton Counties meet. This survey captures a rural landscape defined by its agricultural grid, with long stretches of arterial roads like Ave L and CR 400 framing the section lines. The drainage patterns of the High Plains are clearly visible through the winding paths of Eagle Creek, Blood Creek, and Boot Creek, which cut through the otherwise orderly township divisions. Local history is anchored by the Lutheran Cemetery south of town, providing a specific point of interest for genealogical research in this sparsely populated region. The map reflects a modern era of land management, illustrating the persistent importance of the section-line road network in the 21st century.
