  Location of Swanson in Ontario

Swanson is a settlement and unincorporated place in the Unorganized North Part of Algoma District, northeastern Ontario, Canada. It lies at the south end of Esnagi Lake on the Magpie River where the Canadian Pacific Railway transcontinental main line crosses the river, between the settlements of Ryerson on the line 14 kilometres (9 mi) to the west and Franz, the junction of the CPR with the Algoma Central Railway, 9 kilometres (6 mi) to the east. There is a siding at Swanson, and Via Rail provides services with the Sudbury – White River train once daily in each direction.[1][2]
A small dam controls the outflow on the Magpie River from Esnagi Lake, and a small creek enters from the right just upstream of the dam.
