1960 Map of Sharon

About this map

Darien and the village of Sharon anchor this 1960s agricultural survey of Walworth County, showing a landscape defined by the heavy presence of the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific railroad. The rural character of the era is remarkably preserved through its network of small country schools, including the Salt Box Sch, Elton Sch, and Red Sch, which served the farming families long before the consolidation of rural districts. The map also records numerous local burial grounds such as Brick Church Cem and Oakwood Cem, providing critical reference points for genealogical research.
