2010 Map of Otwell

About this map

Otwell serves as the primary hub in this southern Indiana landscape, where agriculture and hydrology define the local character. Located near the southern boundary, the Patoka River and County Ditch wind through the terrain, joined by several local waterways including Little Flat Creek and Altar Creek. This 2010 survey highlights a high density of rural burial grounds, which offer significant value for genealogical research in Pike County. Noteworthy sites include the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery adjacent to the town center, and the Mount Zion Cemetery further east. The eastern edge features the settlement of Ireland, while the southwest corner identifies White Sulphur Springs along Sulphur Springs Brook. The area's water management is evident through landmarks like the Lake in the Woods Dam and Ireland Lake, illustrating how the community has shaped the natural drainage of the Patoka watershed.
