2013 Map of Slocomb

About this map

The Cape Fear River bisects this landscape, shaping the development of rural communities like Slocomb and Carlos. In this part of Cumberland County, the terrain is characterized by numerous small water bodies including Clarks Lake, Ennis Pond, and Smiths Lake, which dot the northern reaches above the riverbanks. The road network reveals a shift toward modern aviation interests with the presence of Flyers Airpark and Windemere Airport, contrasting with older rural routes like Colliers Chapel Church Rd. The presence of Carvers Cr and its tributaries provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns that have historically influenced land use and settlement placement near the river. This survey captures a mix of residential growth and established agricultural tracts as they appeared in the early 21st century, centered around the unincorporated town of Slocomb.
