Orland Area Debates Continental Divide In Local Creek Flows
Orland Park resident Richard Ehret argues the Orland area sits on a continental divide between LaGrange Road and 159th Street near Georgia's Comfort Inn and Thompson Horse Farm. Professor Jim Ruyle notes the divide is the Valparaiso Moraine with east and west flowing creeks, such as Marley and Hickory, toward different basins. The USGS and local officials would need to verify the feature before any signs or official recognition.
