2019 Map of Slocum

About this map

Slocum serves as the primary hub for this Anderson County landscape, situated at the intersection of several farm-to-market roads and county routes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor waterways, including Squirrel Cr, Turkey Cr, and Alder Br, which drain toward the southeast into the Ioni Marsh and Ioni Cr. This hydrology has historically shaped the settlement patterns and road placements in the region, with routes often following the higher ground between the numerous creek beds. To the southeast, the elevated stands of Slocum Pines offer a distinct topographical contrast to the marshy lowlands nearby. Genealogists and local historians can find the Crawford Cem positioned near FM 1817, while the road network, featuring names like Union Hope Rd, reflects the community-focused infrastructure of this rural Texas landscape.
