2022 Map of Otley

About this map

Otley is the central hub of this agricultural and riparian landscape, situated north of the expansive Lake Red Rock. The area is notably dense with historical burial sites, including Pendroy Cem, Gibbons Cem, and the Coal Ridge Church Cem, offering significant data for genealogical research in Marion County. The terrain is defined by a network of waterways like Van Zante Cr, Wildcat Creek, and Brush Creek that drain toward the reservoir. The map reveals a transition from the structured grid of rural roads like Co HWY g18 and Co HWY g28 to the irregular, indented shoreline of the lake. This shoreline is characterized by several trail systems including the North Loop Tr and East Loop Tr, reflecting the modern land use of the region as a balance between established farming communities and recreational conservation areas.
