text:
Sharples is a ghost town in southern Alberta, Canada within the badlands region of Kneehill County. The community is located along the former track bed of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Carbon-Drumheller branch line. It was built in the 1920s when the CPR line was extended through the area. The community was the site of two grain elevators serving local farmers. At its peak in the 1940s the elevators were handling over 100,000 bushels of wheat per year and a small number of houses surrounded them
