2024 Map of Otwell

About this map

Otwell serves as the central hub of this agricultural region where Craighead and Poinsett Counties meet. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including Caney Ditch, Mound Ditch, and Big Creek Lateral Number 1, which drain the low-lying plains to support the local farming economy. These waterways often follow the grid of section lines, reflecting a highly organized approach to rural land use. Cultural landmarks like the Otwell Cem and Keller Airfield suggest a long-standing community with localized infrastructure. The presence of Raccoon Bayou in the southern portion of the quadrangle indicates the natural drainage patterns that existed before the area was extensively transformed by engineering for modern agriculture.
