1960 Map of Otterville West

The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably the Lamine River winding through the northeast corner and the significant Flat Creek drainage to the south. Numerous smaller tributaries like Shaver Creek and Long Branch carve the landscape into a series of ridges and valleys. Evidence of local industry appears in the form of Quarries located near the town centers, while burial sites like Smithton Cem and Odd Fellows Cem offer specific locations for genealogical research and family history.
