2010 Map of Slocum

About this map

Slocum serves as a primary hub in this portion of Anderson County, characterized by a transition from local agricultural plots to industrial energy extraction. The Slocum Oil Field south of town indicates the long-standing importance of petroleum to the local economy. To the north, the community of Alderbranch sits near the headwaters of Alder Branch, while the settlement of Kossuth occupies the northwest corner of the sheet. The landscape is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems including Snake Creek, Stills Creek, and Ioni Creek. Cultural landmarks such as Crawford Cemetery and the engineering of Mays Lake Dam reflect the established residency and land management of the early 21st century. The road network, featuring routes like Old Boston Rd and Union Hope Rd, connects these dispersed settlements across the creek-bottom terrain.
