About this map

The settlement of Onamia sits at the southern tip of Lake Onamia, a central focal point where the Rum River begins its journey southward. This landscape is defined by its proximity to the massive Mille Lacs Lake to the northeast, which drains into the smaller local basins of Shakopee Lake and Warren Lake. The town itself is a nexus for historical transportation, notably centered on the route of the Soo Line South: Mille Lacs Trail, reflecting the importance of the rail corridor to this region’s development.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Crosier Cemetery and Mount Pleasant Cemetery near the town center, along with Holy Cross Cemetery. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by the drainage systems of the North Fork Bradbury Brook and Black Brook, which meander through a complex network of wetlands and township roads that delineate the rural sections of Mille Lacs County.
