2024 Map of Sharon

About this map

Sharon and the surrounding York County countryside are defined by a complex network of waterways and ridges. The terrain is marked by significant drainages including Turkey Creek, Bullock Creek, and the aptly named Purgatory Branch, with Turkey Creek Ridge rising between the local watersheds. For those researching family history in the area, the map meticulously documents several key burial sites and congregations, such as the Saint John Baptist Church Graveyard, Woodlawn Presbyterian Church Cem, and the Sharon Church Graveyard. In the northeastern corner, the edge of York appears, featuring the Union Cem. The landscape is interlaced with secondary roads and family-named routes like McGill Rd, Shillinglaw Rd, and Clark Steele Rd, which trace the established paths between these rural South Carolina settlements and their neighboring agricultural lands.
