Onglières is a commune in the French department of Jura in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Onglières is located at 820 m , about ten kilometers northeast of the city of Champagnole (as the crow flies). The farming village extends in the Jura , on the vast plateau that connects to the north of the Val de Mièges, on the southern edge of the Forêt de la Joux.
The area of the 8.99 km² municipal area covers a section of the French Jura. Almost the entire area is taken up by a plateau, which averages 820 m . It shows only very small differences in relief and is covered by meadow and pasture land, in the northern part mainly by forest. The high plateau has no above-ground watercourses because the rainwater seeps into the karstified subsoil. In the far east, the communal soil extends into the basin of the Ruisseau du Gouffre de l'Houle in the Val de Mièges. To the northwest, the municipal area extends over the high plateau into the hilly terrain of the extensive forest area of the Forêt de la Joux . At the height of the Sauget, the highest point of Onglières is reached with 892 m . The western border runs above the steep drop to the Angillon valley .
Neighboring communities of Onglières are Chapois in the north, Plénise , Plénisette and Mièges in the east, Doye and Mournans-Charbonny in the south and Les Nans in the west.

With 65 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2017) Onglières is one of the smallest communities in the Jura department. After the population had decreased markedly in the first half of the 20th century (225 people were still counted in 1886), only relatively minor fluctuations have been recorded since the mid-1970s.
Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Onglières was mainly a village characterized by agriculture, in particular cattle and dairy farming, and forestry. Even today, the residents live mainly from their work in the first sector. Outside the primary sector there are few jobs in the village. Some workers are also commuters who work in the surrounding larger towns.
The village is very well developed in terms of traffic. It is on the main D471 road from Champagnole to Pontarlier . Other road connections exist with Doye, Mournans and Andelot-en-Montagne.
