1972 Map of Sharon

About this map

Sharon serves as the central hub of this Georgia landscape, situated at a road junction in the heart of Taliaferro County during the early 1970s. The map illustrates a rural environment defined by small settlements and a dense network of watercourses, including the Little River along the northern border and Williams Creek to the south. Local landmarks such as the Lookout Tower near Level Hill Ch provide orientation points for researchers tracking the physical geography of the era. Settlement patterns are concentrated around intersections and water sources, with Sandy Cross and Raytown appearing as distinct communities. Genealogy-rich details include numerous country churches like Mt Olive Ch and Jennings Ch, alongside several unnamed cemeteries that mark family and community history across the rolling terrain between Kindrick Creek and Reedy Creek.
