About this map

Sharon serves as a central hub in this western York County landscape, where the town street grid transitions into a dense network of rural routes and family-named roads. The geography is defined by a dendritic drainage system, with Turkey Cr and its tributary Little Turkey Cr carving through the terrain alongside other local watercourses like Bullock Cr and Buckhorn Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as Union Cem near the western edge of York, providing a clear point of reference for ancestral research. The map also captures numerous smaller branches, including the evocatively named Purgatory Br and Mitchell Br, which dictate the winding paths of rural thoroughfares like Old Meeting House Rd and Hickory Grove Rd. Notable topographical features like the Grassy Knoll stand out among the many ridges and valleys that characterize this portion of the Piedmont.
