2017 Map of Otwell

About this map

Otwell serves as the primary hub for this portion of the Arkansas delta, situated near the boundary between Craighead Co and Poinsett Co. The landscape is defined by its extensive agricultural drainage systems, where Caney Ditch and Big Creek navigate a low-lying terrain etched with numerous lateral waterways like Mound Ditch. The presence of the Otwell Cem north of the main settlement and Keller Airfield to the east reflects the intersection of long-standing community roots and the modern aviation requirements of large-scale farming. Water management is a central theme of the geography, evidenced by features such as Chase Reservoir and the meandering path of Raccoon Bayou. Local transit follows a grid of county roads, including Senteney Rd and Punkin Center Rd, which connect the scattered rural homesteads to State Hwy 158.
