2012 Map of Slick

About this map

Slick and the neighboring community of Tabor define the human geography of this Creek County landscape. The area is heavily defined by the complex watershed of Little Deep Fork Cr, which has been systematically managed through a series of numbered flood control structures ranging from Site 37 Reservoir to Site 47 Reservoir. These reservoirs are interspersed among a network of rural routes and watercourses such as Skull Cr and Chicken Cr. Local history is anchored by the Tabor Cem and Falls Cem, while the inclusion of the Old Ozark Trl in the northwest provides a connection to earlier regional travel routes. The landscape reflects a transition toward modern water management and road grids while maintaining its identity through established settlements and family-named landmarks like Mills Chapel Rd.
