2016 Map of Slocum

About this map

Slocum serves as the primary settlement hub for this portion of Anderson County, where a intricate network of local roads such as Union Hope Rd and Slocum Pines navigate a landscape defined by its many creek branches. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems including Squirrel Cr, Turkey Cr, and Alder Br, all feeding toward the Ioni Marsh and Ioni Cr in the south. These watercourses have historically shaped the rural road patterns, with numerous county roads following the ridgelines between these small valleys. Genealogists will find the Crawford Cem positioned near FM 1817, while the presence of Mays Lake further highlights the area's hydrology. The map illustrates a contemporary view of this wooded and agricultural region, where modern highway designations like FM 323 intersect with long-established property-line roads.
