About this map

Mitchell and Orleans anchor this study of the southern Indiana landscape, where the karst topography of the Mitchell Plain is evident through numerous sinkholes and subterranean drainage patterns. The northern half of the map features the historic Spring Mill Village, where Hamer Cem and several hiking trails weave through the hills. Just south, the Hoosier National Forest provides a transition toward the rural areas of Orange Co, which include the Orleans Water Works Reservoir and the Orleans Airport.

Transportation is defined by the CSX Transportation railroad line and the corridor of S State Road 37 connecting the two primary settlements. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial sites, including Freedom Cem near the Mitchell city limits and Old Cem in the heart of Orleans. The Lost River appears in the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the unique hydrology of this limestone region.
