1973 Map of Sharon North

About this map

The town of Sharon anchors the southern portion of this Barber County landscape, situated along the A T & S F railroad line. The map illustrates a region defined by its hydrography and subterranean resources, where the Medicine Lodge River and its tributaries, including Little Sandy Creek and the East Branch Little Sandy Creek, carve through the terrain. A notable network of Pipelines and an extensive Oil and Gas Field reflect the mid-century industrial activity of the area, punctuated by numerous Gas Wells and Oil Wells. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks, such as Mumford Cem, Burgess Cem, and the St Boniface Cem site, providing exact placement of these historical markers within the rural grid of Kansas.
