2010 Map of Sharpsburg

About this map

Sharpsburg serves as the central hub of this agricultural landscape in north-central Kentucky, where the town grid is oriented along Town Branch and the Lower East Union Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding course of Hinkston Creek, which snakes through the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous family and community landmarks, including Crown Hill Cemetery and the more remote Carter Cemetery. Small rural settlements like Peytons and East Union are connected by a network of historic thoroughfares such as Old Iron Works Rd and Nixon Rd. The presence of Peytons Lick Church and Smith Chapel Church alongside their respective cemeteries suggests the enduring importance of these community centers in this pastoral region of Bath County during the early 21st century.
