About this map

Sharon serves as the central hub of this Madison County landscape, where the rural character is defined by a network of creek drainages and longstanding community landmarks. The area is heavily marked by its spiritual and genealogical heritage, featuring numerous church-affiliated cemeteries such as Saint John Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Saint Mark Church of God in Christ Cem. These sites, alongside Sims Chapel, reflect the deep-rooted social fabric of this region north of the state capital.

Water plays a significant role in the local geography, with the meandering Tilda Bogue and Doaks Cr cutting through the terrain. Private aviation and agriculture intersect at the Supplejack Airport, while small settlements like Turnetta and water bodies such as Tithel Lake and Lake Lepace anchor the surrounding countryside. This survey captures a moment of modern rural life before significant suburban expansion reached this part of the county.
