2010 Map of Sharpsville

About this map

Sharpsville and the winding course of the Shenango River anchor this 2010 topographic record of Mercer County. The landscape is defined by the massive footprint of the Shenango River Lake, which stretches from the Shenango River Dam northward, flooding the valley and altering the historic path of numerous tributaries like Chestnut Run and McCullough Run. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of residential developments like Reynolds Heights and Greencrest Park to the managed water system, while preserving the locations of older landmarks such as Fell Cemetery and Zion Cemetery. The transition from the established street grid of the borough to the outlying agricultural areas like Pymatuning and Transfer shows the persistent rural-suburban character of the region. Local transportation and recreation are represented by the presence of Napodano Airport and the Birchwood Golf Course, situated along the eastern ridges overlooking the reservoir.
