About this map

Orland and the surrounding borderlands of Lagrange and Steuben counties are defined by a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and prairies. The northern portion of the map is dominated by Wall Lake, Lime Lake, and the meandering course of the Fawn River, while the southern reaches feature the broad Jackson Prairie and Brushy Prairie. These agricultural expanses are punctuated by numerous small cemeteries, such as the Mill Grove Cem and Carlton Cem, which speak to the early pioneer settlement patterns in this corner of Northeast Indiana.

The town of Flint sits in the southeast, positioned near the wetlands of Pigeon Creek. The presence of sites like the East Springfield United Methodist Cem and the Jackson Prairie Cem provides significant genealogical value for those researching the rural heritage of Millgrove and Jackson townships. The landscape's hydrology remains largely intact, with prominent bodies of water like Otter Lake, Deep Lake, and Green Lake serving as focal points for the local topography.
