2016 Map of Little Swan

About this map

Little Swan sits amidst the extensive wetlands and winding waterways of the Iron Range region, where the E Swan River and W Swan River define the local topography. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape of scattered rural settlements and significant infrastructure, with the small community of Onega and the namesake Little Swan serving as local hubs. The area is characterized by its drainage network, including Barber Cr and Dempsey Cr, which feed into the larger river systems. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Little Swan Cem and Robertson Field, alongside a well-developed network of township and county roads like Zim Rd and Meadowlands Trunk Rd that connect these remote northern Minnesota outposts.
