About this map

Slocomb serves as the primary hub in this Geneva County landscape, captured in the late 1950s with later updates. The town's grid is established north of the And Hartford route, accompanied by a Substation and a Drive-in Theater on the western outskirts. The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of local congregations and rural communities, including Fadette, New Hinson, and New Teamon.

Waterways like Davis Mill Creek and Wrights Creek drain the terrain, which is punctuated by numerous rural landmarks such as Pleasant Hill Ch, Antioch Ch, and Christian Home Ch. The map illustrates a settled agricultural region where family life centered around these dispersed churches and the small commercial center of Slocomb. Notable topographic features include the Lighter Swag and Wolfpen, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns before modern development altered the rural character.
