About this map

Otwell serves as the primary settlement hub in this part of northeastern Arkansas, situated along AR 158 Hwy W. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including Caney Ditch and Big Creek Lateral Number 1, which drain the low-lying terrain for agricultural use. This drainage system is punctuated by significant local reservoirs and lakes such as Claypool Reservoir, Chase Reservoir, and Farmers Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Otwell Cem north of the main settlement, while aviation history is represented by Keller Airfield. The boundary between Craighead Co and Poinsett Co bisects the map, showing the rural road network that connects disparate landmarks like Pumkin Center Rd and Raccoon Bayou. The presence of the Mound Ditch in the east further emphasizes the area's long-standing reliance on engineered watercourses.
