About this map

Barnes Corners serves as the central hub of this Jefferson County landscape, where the Tug Hill plateau's characteristic drainage patterns define the rural topography. The area is marked by a series of distinct "gulfs" or deep ravines, including Bear Gulf, Shingle Gulf, and the prominent Inman Gulf, which are carved by the local stream network. These geologic features dictate the placement of local roads and the small crossroads settlements that dot the region.

Genealogists can locate family sites near several long-standing intersections, such as Cronk Corners, Babbits Corners, and the uniquely named Seven by Nine Corners. Sacred sites are found on the eastern edge of the survey, including Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery and Newton Cemetery near the headwaters of the Deer River. The network of waterways, featuring Grumley Creek and Abijah Creek, illustrates the complex hydrography feeding into Sandy Creek and the West Branch Deer River.
