Dan & MIOAKLAN-L: I have an Atlas of MI counties. There is an Orion Township in Oakland County. The town of Lake Orion in the northwest corner of Orion Township and borders on Oxford Township. State highway M-24 goes north & south through the towns of Lake Orion & Oxford. Lapeer County is to the north of the town of Oxford and Orion Township is north of the City of Pontiac, Pontiac Township, MI.
