1972 Map of Sharon
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Sharon serves as the central hub of this York County landscape, where the Southern railroad line intersects with local trade routes. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of watercourses, most notably Turkey Creek and its many tributaries like Dry Fork Turkey Creek and McClures Branch. These streams carve through the terrain, separating small rural communities marked by their local congregations. Several country churches, including Mt Carmel Ch and St Johns Ch, appear alongside family-history landmarks like Union Cem. To the northeast, the outskirts of York show signs of municipal development with a Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal facility. This survey documents a traditional South Carolina Piedmont landscape during a period of steady growth, maintaining its rural character through established homesteads and the presence of a Lookout Tower monitoring the wooded tracts.
