About this map

Barnes Corners serves as the central hub of this 1943 survey, marking a significant transition point in the rural landscape of Lewis and Jefferson Counties. The area is defined by a series of deep, narrow ravines known as "gulfs," including the dramatic Inman Gulf, Shingle Gulf, and Bear Gulf. These topographical features dictate the movement of local waterways like Sandy Creek and the Deer River, which carve through the plateau.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense network of numbered schoolhouses, such as School No 1 and School No 7, scattered across the townships of Pinckney, Rodman, and Montague. Curious local landmarks like the uniquely named 7x9 Corners and the Newton Cem near the eastern boundary provide specific points of interest for those tracing family ties to these upland farming communities during the wartime era.
