2016 Map of Barnes Corners

About this map

Barnes Corners sits at the junction of several rural routes along the Jefferson and Lewis County line, marking a landscape defined by significant geological incisions. The terrain is characterized by deep ravines known locally as gulfs, including Shingle Gulf, Bear Gulf, and Inman Gulf, where waterways like Sandy Creek and the Gulf Stream have carved through the upland. This 2016 survey documents the enduring layout of the Tug Hill plateau area, highlighting small settlements like East Rodman and Inman. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Saints Peter and Paul Cem and Newton Cem, while the road network, including the precisely named Mile Strip Rd and Seven By Nine Rd, reflects the original land surveying patterns of Northern New York.
