About this map

Barnes Corners sits at the intersection of several rural state and county routes in this 2013 survey, serving as a central hub for a landscape defined by its complex drainage network and dispersed hamlets. The terrain is notably etched by deep ravines, including Bear Gulf and Shingle Gulf in the north, where water flows through Sandy Cr and the Gulf Stream. These features suggest a high-relief Tug Hill landscape where road placement follows the path of least resistance between stream cuts.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the locations of small settlements like East Rodman and uniquely named crossroads such as Seven by Nine Corners and Cronk Corners. The map identifies the Saints Peter and Paul Cem and Newton Cem near the eastern border, offering precise locations for researchers tracing the families of these rural Jefferson County communities. A dense web of family-named roads, from Waterman Rd to Tontarski Rd, reflects the enduring agricultural footprint of the region.
