== Geography == According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the town has a total area of {{convert|59.9|sqkm|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|59.7|sqkm|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.2|sqkm|order=flip|1}} are water, comprising 0.25% of the town. The highest point in Orange is the summit of [[Mount Cardigan]], at {{convert|3155|ft|m}} above [[sea level]], near the eastern edge of the town. The western side of the town (and the mountain) drains via Orange Brook to the [[Indian River (New Hampshire)|Indian River]] in the neighboring town of [[Canaan, New Hampshire|Canaan]], in turn a tributary of the [[Mascoma River]]. This portion of town is part of the [[Connecticut River]] watershed. The remainder of the town is part of the [[Merrimack River]] watershed. In the northern part of town, the [[South Branch Baker River|South Branch]] of the [[Baker River (New Hampshire)|Baker River]] has its source, flowing north toward [[Groton, New Hampshire|Groton]] and [[Dorchester, New Hampshire|Dorchester]]. The northeastern corner of the town drains north via Atwell Brook to the [[Cockermouth River]] in Groton, a tributary of [[Newfound Lake]]. The eastern edge of town drains off Mount Cardigan via several brooks leading to the [[Fowler River]] in [[Alexandria, New Hampshire|Alexandria]], another tributary of Newfound Lake. The southeastern part of town drains to Mill Brook, a southward-flowing tributary of the [[Smith River (Pemigewasset River tributary)|Smith River]]. The Baker River, Newfound Lake, and the Smith River are all tributaries of the [[Pemigewasset River]], which flows south to form the [[Merrimack River]] in [[Franklin, New Hampshire|Franklin]]. [[U.S. Route 4 in New Hampshire|U.S. Route 4]] passes through the town's southwestern corner.
