2013 Map of Sharpsburg

About this map

Sharpsburg serves as a central hub in this section of Bath County, where the street grid of Main St and Back St transitions into a landscape defined by meandering creek beds and narrow ridges. The settlement pattern is anchored by small communities such as East Union, Peytons, and Fairview, each often centered around family burial grounds or local congregations. Genealogists will find a high concentration of cemeteries including Crown Hill Cem, Jewell Cem, and Peytons Lick Church Cem, which are scattered throughout the rural corridors. The drainage network is particularly prominent, with Hinkston Cr and its various tributaries like Town Br and Long Br carving through the terrain. Evidence of the area's agricultural and rural infrastructure is seen in the winding paths of Gravel Rd and Upper Sharpsburg Rd, connecting isolated farmsteads and historic church sites like Smith Chapel Church Cem.
