About this map

The town of Orland anchors this 1960s study of the glacial lakes region along the Lagrange Co Steuben Co border. This Indiana landscape is defined by its diverse hydrography, featuring several prominent water bodies such as Wall Lake, Otter Lake, and the winding Fawn River which supports the Fawn River Fish Hatchery. The western portion is largely dedicated to the Pigeon River State Game Preserve, showing a preserved wetland environment along Pigeon Creek.

Local history and genealogy are well-documented through small settlements like Greenfield Mills and Flint, alongside rural community centers like East Springfield Ch and Valley Bethel Ch. Several historical burial grounds, including Greenlawn Cem and Jackson Prairie Cem, are scattered across the townships of Millgrove and Springfield, providing a clear record of the area's mid-century rural development and conservation efforts.
