About this map

Sharon and the surrounding rural communities of Hillman, Raytown, and Barnett characterize this section of Georgia's Piedmont. The landscape is defined by a dense network of family and community burial grounds, such as the Saggus - Lyle Cem and Greater Level Hill Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in Taliaferro, Wilkes, and Warren Counties. These sites are often positioned on the high ground between the numerous waterways that drain the region, including Kendrick Cr, Harden Cr, and Beaverdam Cr.

Transport routes like Washington Rd NE and Warrenton Rd SE connect these small clusters of residency, tracing paths that follow the natural topography. The proximity of the Little River at the northern boundary and the N Prong Williams Cr to the south indicates the essential role of these creek systems in the historical development of the local farming economy. This survey provides a precise look at the distribution of private cemeteries and rural roads in the early 21st century.
