About this map

Orland and the surrounding townships of Millgrove, Springfield, Jackson, and Greenfield define this landscape along the Lagrange and Steuben County line. The topography is dominated by a complex network of glacial kettle lakes and wetlands, including Wall Lake, Lime Lake, and the elongated Otter Lake. The Pigeon River and Fawn River drain these basins, with the Pigeon River State Game Preserve protecting large swaths of the river corridor.

Industry and local community life center on small clusters like Greenfield Mills and Brushy Prairie, alongside facilities like the Fawn River Fish Hatchery. For genealogists, the map identifies several rural landmarks such as East Springfield Ch, Greenlawn Cem, and the Jackson Prairie Cem. Fine red dashed lines throughout the map provide an additional layer of data, indicating field lines and fences visible from the aerial photography of the era.
