2024 Map of Slocum

About this map

The Mississippi River forms the eastern edge of this landscape in Concordia Parish, defining the state boundary between Louisiana and Mississippi. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including Bayou Cocodrie and Wild Cow Bayou, which meander through low-lying areas. Small settlements like Slocum and Bougere are concentrated near the levee system, where Slocum-Levee Rd provides essential transport along the river's edge. Further inland, the map shows the transition into less developed wetlands and drainage systems such as Patton Lake Drain and Greens Bayou. This area's geography is fundamentally shaped by the movement of the river and the intricate bayous that drain the surrounding alluvial plains, illustrating the intersection of natural water patterns and rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
