Orangeville sits as the central settlement in this portion of Barry County, positioned near the waters of Orangeville Cr and the Mill Pond. The landscape is defined by the expansive Gun Lake, featuring several named points and islands such as Englands Point, Yankee Springs Island, and Blackbird Island. This 2017 survey reveals a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Oak Hill Cem near town and several family-named sites like Messer Cem and Lindsey Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research. The Gun River drains the central corridor of the Gun Plains, flowing south toward the smaller communities of Hooper and Neeley. The map details a transition from the lake-oriented recreation areas in the northeast to the structured agricultural grid of the southwest, interconnected by an extensive network of numeric avenues and rural roads.
