About this map

Otisville serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the junction of several critical water bodies including Sand Lake, Dock Lake, and McCormick Lake. The village's development is closely tied to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, which cuts through the southern sections near Rogersville. To the north, the terrain transitions into the agricultural lands of Arbela and Millington, where rural life is anchored by landmarks like East Arbela Ch and the Township Cem.

The survey highlights a patchwork of small-scale industry and natural resources, evidenced by scattered Oil Wells and numerous Sandpits. Along the southern border, the Genesee Recreation Area and County Park at Buell Lake provide a counterpoint to the working landscape of the Thetford and Forest townships. Genealogists will find value in the specific placement of the Southwest Sch and family-named sites such as Smith Hill Cem on the slopes of Smith Hill.
