2013 Map of Onamia

About this map

Onamia serves as the central hub of this northern Minnesota landscape, situated at the southern tip of Lake Onamia. The town's geographic importance is defined by its position along the Rum River, which drains out of the massive Mille Lacs Lake just to the north and winds its way southward through the center of the sheet. This drainage system creates a network of interconnected water bodies, including Shakopee Lake and Warren Lake, interspersed with wetlands and low-lying terrain. The transportation corridor of Us-169 and MN-27 intersects within the town, providing the primary access through this wooded and water-rich region. Local heritage is preserved in the presence of several community landmarks, including Crosier Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Mt Pleasant Cem. The map also details the Swiderski Field Airport to the south, highlighting the modern infrastructure supporting this rural lakeside community.
