2020 Map of Otwell

About this map

Otwell serves as the primary hub for this low-lying agricultural landscape on the border of Craighead and Poinsett counties. The terrain is defined by an extensive drainage network designed to manage the fertile bottomlands, featuring Big Creek, Mound Ditch, and Raccoon Bayou. The intricate system of man-made waterways, including Big Creek Lateral Number 1, reflects a history of systematic land reclamation for farming. Local landmarks such as Otwell Cem and Keller Airfield provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking family roots and small-scale aviation history. A grid of rural routes like Punkin Center Rd and Old Village Ln connects isolated farmsteads, illustrating the enduring rural character of this region well into the twenty-first century.
