About this map

Otis serves as the primary hub of this High Plains landscape, situated along the Burlington Northern railroad in Washington County. In the early 1970s, the town structure is clearly defined by its street grid, featuring a Park, a local Cem, and the High Sch. The surrounding terrain is marked by the subtle drainage of Surveyor Creek and several specialized infrastructure points, including a Pumping Station and a Substa east of town.

Energy and transport drive the local economy outside the town center, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells, a Gas Well, and multiple Gravel Pits. Aviation history is well-represented by the established Stansfield Airport and an additional Landing Strip northwest of the main settlement. Further east, the small locality of Calhoun sits near the rail line, while Haverland Pond provides a rare water feature in this largely agricultural prairie region.
