About this map

The unincorporated community of Sharon and its surrounding rural landscapes are documented here in central Mississippi during the mid-2010s. The area is characterized by a dense network of country roads such as Stump Bridge Rd and Ratliff Ferry Rd, which connect numerous local churches and family burial grounds. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, showing sites like the Grafton Family Cem and Holliday Family Cem, alongside the Sharon Methodist Church Cem.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Doaks Creek and Tilda Bogue winding through the terrain toward the periphery of Canton. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Supplejack Airport, while smaller water bodies like Lake Lepace and Twin Lakes punctuate the landscape between established missionary baptist churches. The map provides a precise look at the transition from the small settlement of Turnetta toward the more populated town center to the southwest.
