About this map

The town of Orlando sits at the southeastern corner of this rural landscape, which is defined by a dense network of creek systems including Middle Beaver Cr, W Beaver Cr, and Cow Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the grid of section-line roads, such as N Academy Rd and S Central St, that partition the agricultural land into precise blocks.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of small burial sites scattered across these sections. From Lawnview Cem in the north to Zion Cem in the south, these sites—including Pioneer Cem, German Cem, and Mt Zion Cem—mark the community centers of early rural settlement. The geography is further articulated by the headwaters of Little Stillwater Cr and the diverging branches of W Warren Cr and E Warren Cr.
