DescriptionMap of the town of Sharon, Connecticut, with Salisbury to the north, the Housatonic River and Cornwall to the east, Kent to the south, and New York State to the west. The town is divided into eleven districts. Three distinct villages are shown: Sharon, Hitchcock's Corner, and Ellsworth. Much of the terrain is hilly; elevation is conveyed by hachure marks. Roads and buildings are shown, with names of property owners. An inscription at the far right states "Housatonic R.R. 7 Miles from Sharon." A detailed map at lower right shows the village of Sharon with the names of property owners. Vignettes at left, right, and bottom include C. Sears' Harness and Trunk Manufactory, the Store and residence of S. J. Prindle, the Congregational Church in Sharon, the Congregational Church in Ellsworth, and the residences of R. S. Noyes, the Reverend G. L. Brownell, General Charles F. Sedgwick, the late John Cotton Smith, Ansel Sterling, Major David Gould, C. and R. B. Cole, Hiram Weed, and Samuel E. Everett.
