2020 Map of Slocum

About this map

Bayou Cocodrie winds through this low-lying landscape in Concordia Parish, defining a complex network of waterways that includes Wild Cow Bayou, Greens Bayou, and Patton Lake Drain. This 2020 survey highlights the rural character of the region near the Louisiana-Mississippi state line, where the land is heavily shaped by the proximity of the Mississippi River. Small settlements such as Slocum and Bougere are situated along the Slocum Levee Rd, reflecting the critical role of river management in the area's development. Further south, Jackson Point sits near the river's edge, illustrating the precarious and intimate relationship between the local communities and the shifting riverbank. The map's detail provides a record of the drainage patterns and township lines, such as t4n r7e, essential for understanding the historical land use and property boundaries in this river-bottom territory.
