2018 Map of Sharon

About this map

Salisbury and Sharon anchor this detailed landscape along the Connecticut and New York border, where the region's industrial and agricultural history is etched into the terrain. The area's legacy of iron production is evident at Ore Hill Pond and the settlement of Ore Hill, while the village of Lime Rock points to the early water-powered industry along Salmon Creek. This survey captures a network of significant water bodies, from the expansive Wononskopomuc Lake and Wononpakook Lake to the more secluded Indian Lake and Mudge Pond, the latter featuring the Mudge Pond Town Beach. Elevation shifts significantly across landmarks like Indian Mountain and Mount Riga, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding through the eastern ridges. The presence of Cemetery Hill and numerous named brooks like Beeslick Brook and Wachocastinook Creek provide fine-grained details for local history researchers.
