About this map

The settlement of Onaway serves as the primary hub in this northern Michigan landscape, where a grid of local highways and secondary roads like Cobbs Hwy and Malone Hwy connect the town to the surrounding countryside. This 2011 survey reveals a community well-served by regional infrastructure, including the Leo E Goetz County Airport and recreational sites such as the Onaway Motor Speedway and Stoney Links Golf Course. The geography is defined by a complex network of waterways, most notably the winding courses of the Rainy River and Little Rainy River, alongside the Black River and Tomahawk Creek to the south.

Local history is anchored by three distinct burial grounds—Elmwood Cemetery, Saint Paul's Catholic Cemetery, and Allis Cemetery—which offer valuable data for genealogical research. Further south, the map identifies the Tomahawk School and several small water bodies including Hackett Lake and Loon Lake, illustrating a rural pattern of development where small-scale institutions and natural landmarks define the territory beyond the town center.
