Welcome to Big Willow Bed ...

Although we found mention of Big Willow Bed during our research, we really don't have any information about it.<1> Given the context of how Big Willow Bed was mentioned, we believe that it was a community rather than a locale or some type of landmark. We have done a cursory search and if it was a community, we haven't been able to find any evidence that it still exists..

We've added Big Willow Bed to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. If you can help us with Big Willow Bed, please Contact Us.




Time Zone: The area where we believe that Big Willow Bed might be (or was) located is in the Atlantic Standard Time Zone (AST) and does not observe daylight saving time. The time zone in French: AST- Heure Normale de l'Atlantique (HNA).

Note: If you travel east from Big Willow Bed (for example, toward Pinware (NL)), you will leave Atlantic Standard Time and cross into the Newfoundland Time Zone (NST/NDT). In addition, you will be moving from an area that does not observe daylight saving time to one that does.

We believe that Big Willow Bed would be found within the (418) & (581)<2> area codes.

Footnotes ...

<1>If we encounter the name of what might be a community, our methodology is to add that name to our Gazetteer. For example, we might find a sentence like "He went north past Big Willow Bed and then turned west". While Big Willow Bed could be some kind of landmark, we think that it's more likely to be a community. We've added Big Willow Bed as a placeholder with the hope that we'll be able to add more information in the future.

Just as a reminder: Our definition of a community is rather broad and includes those places (or areas) where several families lived and had a name which identified that place. For example, you might hear somebody say that they are going over to Bird Creek to see Pete ... Bird Creek is just a gas station and a couple of homes at the crossroads. While it might not be on the map, everybody in the area knows it by that name.

Places of interest include buildings at a crossroad, several families clustered in a hollow or maybe the location of a way station. It also includes places like mines, lumber camps, ferry crossings, etc. The community might still exist, is now gone or only existed for just a short period of time.

Also keep in mind that Big Willow Bed could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong . Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community - we're working to straighten it all out.
<2>Area code (581) is an overlay for area code (418).
<3>If we found a location and have questions about the accuracy of our information, we will simply say that the marker is 'in the vicinity'. We are not confident about the location and the position of our marker is only a rough guide. If we have too many doubts about the location, we will not include it in our database.
