Appendix. Locations: State outline map, County map with township borders, and List, by township,
of the barns and "extras" of which photographs are included in this album.




 

 Sketch map. Locations of townships within Mackinac County.  The black and white dashed lines indicate the approximate boundaries between adjacent townships.  The two-letter indicators on this map are used to designate the townships where the barns are located in both the   captions of the photographs and on the following list.  West to east the correlations of the two-letter indicators and full names are:  Ne-Newton, Po-Portage, Ga-Garfield, Hu-Hudson, He-Hendricks, Mo-Moran, Br-Brevort, Si-St. Ignace, Ma-Marquette, Bb-Bois Blanc, and Cl-Clark.  

               Two additional indicators, MIC and SIC, are similarly utilized for the included barns that are on Mackinac Island and in St. Ignace, respectively.

List of photographed barns and"extras" by Townships. These locations are plotted by number on the latest Plat Book ... (Mackinac County ..., 2009). The page number in that book is given directly after the number given each structure on this list. That book and additional photos on CD are on file in the XXnameXX Library, XXplaceXX, Michigan.

The following sketch map shows the locations of the barns shown by photographs in this album. It is given, along with the list of locations, because the numbers of the photographs, and thus of the locations, do not have any logical relationship to the roads and geography. They are, instead, in the order in which the photographs were taken, and that depended upon such things such as light conditions and traffic. It is hoped that the map will aid anyone going through the area who might want to correlate their travel plans and routes they take to see the photographed barns.

NOTE: A black and white photograph and information about each of the following barns is in Pickford..., 2004. The photos shown in this album provide a different view, taken in 2011, of each of these barns. The numbers following the MaP- prefix indicate the order in which these photographs were taken, which also provides a good order to view the barns. The information in parentheses at the end of each barn location corresponds to the number and page where information about the barn is in the Pickford ... (2004) publication. It seems noteworthy that five additional barns, no longer present, are also shown in the Mackinac County section recorded in Pickford ... (ibid.)

to put hay bales by hand into a barn ... instead of rolling the hay in plastic and leaving it in the field can mean the difference ...
between showing a profit and suffering a loss." (p.188) -- and a more or less laboring text in many places.

Pickvet, Kate, Mark Pickvet and Robin Rainwater.
2004. A pictorial history of barns and other farm
structures in Michigan.
Salem(MA):Higginson Book Co. 342p.
People interested in barns should have this book as a ready reference -- both for the contents of
its text and its photographs. The photographs, which are black and white, include several farm buildings (etc.) other than
barns that are or once were in Michigan. For some readers, the fact that the locations of most of the barns etc. are only by
county for the lower peninsula and noted only as in the "Upper Peninsula, Michigan" will be frustrating. Had more definitive
locations been given, observers could, for example, see how the buildings have fared between the time those photographs
were taken -- also not indicated, but all certainly before 2004 -- and when more recently viewed.
