About this map

Otwell serves as the primary hub in this southwestern Indiana landscape, situated at the junction of several rural corridors including Strawberry Rd and W State Rd 56. The region is defined by its transition from the rolling drainage of Bear Cr and Flat Creek in the north toward the marshy lowlands of the Patoka River and Big Bottom to the south. This area, spanning the Pike and Dubois county line, remains largely agricultural, characterized by a dense network of township roads and scattered family-linked landmarks.

Researchers will find a high concentration of burial grounds, such as Otwell Cem, Bethel Cem, and Armstrong Cem, which provide valuable anchors for local genealogy. To the southeast, the settlement of Ireland and the waters of Ireland Lake sit near the edge of the survey, while the mineral-rich history of the area is hinted at by the named White Sulphur Springs near the confluence of Sulphur Springs Brook and the main river valley.
