Orkland follows the Orkla from farming communities around Meldal to industry and port facilities at Orkanger, while also extending to the coastal communities of Agdenes. Løkken Verk retains the character of a mining settlement; farms and river plains dominate the valley floor.
Orkanger is both an industrial town and a regional service centre with a hospital. Metals and process industries give working life a different emphasis from the surrounding communities, where agriculture, forestry and smaller businesses are more visible.
