2022 Map of Slocum

About this map

Slocum sits at the intersection of several farm roads in this section of Anderson County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of creeks and branches. The settlement's history is reflected in scattered landmarks like the Killgo Cem and Providence Cem, which serve as anchors for genealogical research in this rural pocket of East Texas. A intricate drainage system flows through the area, with Squirrel Cr and Turkey Cr feeding into the lowlands near the Ioni Marsh and Ioni Cr. The terrain is marked by numerous small hills and valleys, accessed by a web of local routes including Union Hope Rd and Langston Rd, illustrating a post-war rural infrastructure that has remained largely centered on these established corridors.
