2013 Map of Mitchell

About this map

Mitchell and Orleans anchor this section of southern Indiana, illustrating the intersection of long-established agricultural lands and local industry. The map documents a diverse landscape, from the institutional grounds of the Purdue Experimental Orchard to recreational landmarks like the Holiday Drive-In and Pilgrim Campground. Near the center of the sheet, the Orleans Water Works Reservoir and the drainage toward Herron Hollow highlight the local topography and water management. To the east, Spring Mill Village sits near the headwaters of Mill Creek, reflecting the area's early settlement patterns. Further south, the course of the Lost River winds through rural tracts near River View Farms and Crandall Farms, while various topographic depressions such as Rutherford Hollow and McKnight Hollow characterize the karst-influenced terrain of Lawrence County.
