2018 Map of Sharon

About this map

The community of Sharon serves as a central point in this Madison County landscape, where the Sharon Methodist Church Cem and nearby Wells Cem reflect generations of local settlement. The terrain is defined by a network of creeks and small drainages including Doaks Creek and Tilda Bogue, which carve through the countryside northeast of Canton. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family and congregational burial grounds, such as the Grafton Family Cem, Holiday Family Cem, and the Saint Paul Missionary Baptist Church Cem. These landmarks, alongside private aviation sites like Supplejack Airport, illustrate the transition from traditional farming life to modern rural residency. The presence of numerous named water bodies like Lake Lepace and Hassley-Herron Lake highlights the importance of water management in this agricultural region during the early twenty-first century.
