2019 Map of Orangeville

About this map

Gun Lake dominates the northeastern landscape of this region, its complex shoreline defined by points and islands such as Yankee Springs Island and Orangeville Island. The settlement of Orangeville sits just south of the lake's Pickerel Cove, serving as a central point in a territory marked by a high density of small water bodies and family burial grounds. The Gun River drains south through the Gun Plains, passing the small community of Hooper. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in the numerous cemeteries dotting the township grid, including Oak Hill Cem, Messer Cem, and East Martin Cem. The terrain shifts from the prominent Boot Lake Ridge in the northwest to the low-lying wetlands surrounding England Lake and Mill Pond, illustrating the varied glacial topography of this part of the state.
