About this map

Lake Onamia and the surrounding marshlands of Mille Lacs County dominate this landscape, where the Rum River flows south toward the Bradbury Brook tributaries. The settlement of Onamia serves as the central hub, situated along the southern shore of the lake. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including Crosier Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Mount Pleasant Cem, which anchor the community's historical geography.

Transport and recreation are intertwined through a network of county roads like Co Rd 26 and the recreational DNR Trl, which winds through the wetland-heavy terrain west of Shakopee Lake. The map reveals a highly saturated environment with numerous smaller bodies of water like Warren Lake and meandering streams such as Black Brook, illustrating the region's complex hydrology and its influence on local road placement and land use.
