2011 Map of Otwell

About this map

Otwell serves as the central point of this Craighead County landscape, where agriculture and water management define the local geography. The area is heavily intersected by a network of drainage systems essential to the Delta region, including Caney Ditch, Raccoon Bayou, and the engineered course of Big Creek Lateral Number 1. These waterways feed into and surround the Claypool Reservoir at the southern edge of the quadrangle. For those researching local family history, the Otwell Cemetery is a primary landmark situated just north of the main settlement. The survey illustrates a rigid grid of rural corridors, with names like Punkin Center Rd and Dalton Farmer Dr reflecting the long-standing agricultural roots of the community. This topographic record documents the persistent intersection of natural bayous and human-made ditches that allows for the continued cultivation of this low-lying terrain.
