1972 Map of Otis

Outside the central town, the map reveals a sparsely settled region defined by drainage patterns like Surveyor Creek and small industrial sites such as the Gravel Pit and various Gas Wells. The presence of the Calhoun siding and a nearby Substa southeast of town illustrates the importance of the rail corridor in supporting the regional economy during the early 1970s. Local water features like Haverland Pond provide distinct landmarks in this prairie environment.
