About this map

Onaway serves as the central hub for this portion of the northern Lower Peninsula, situated near the border of Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties. The town's grid is well-defined by streets like Elsden St and Tower St, while its community history is anchored by Elmwood Cem and St Paul's Catholic Cem. This region is a complex watershed where the Black River and Rainy River systems converge, characterized by numerous wetlands and the meandering paths of the Little Rainy River and Tomahawk Creek.

The landscape is tied together by the North Eastern State Trl, which cuts diagonally across the township lines, likely following a former railroad corridor. Local genealogy is supported by the presence of Allis Cem located south of the main settlement. Further south, the terrain opens into a series of water bodies including Hackett Lake and Loon Lake, illustrating the post-glacial topography typical of this Michigan timber and recreation belt.
