1959 Map of Barnes Corners

About this map

Barnes Corners serves as the central hub of this late 1950s landscape, where the Tug Hill plateau's characteristic geography is defined by deep ravines and extensive reforestation efforts. The map captures a transition toward managed conservation, with vast tracts designated as State Reforestation Area across the townships of Rodman, Pinckney, Worth, and Montague. Dramatic geological features like Inman Gulf and Shingle Gulf cut through the terrain, while headwaters for Sandy Creek and the Deer River originate among these high elevations.
