2012 Map of Slocum

About this map

Exeter and the surrounding rural villages of South County define this landscape, characterized by a complex network of small cemeteries and early industrial sites. The topography is shaped by the Queen River and Chipuxet River, which historically supported milling operations like the Kenyon Grist Mill near Usquepaug. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Champlin-Greene Burial Ground, Briggs Cem, and the Slocum Sweet Cem, alongside the sprawling Rhode Island State Veteran Cem. Transport patterns are marked by the Amtrak corridor passing through Slocum, while community life centers on landmarks like the Old Baptist Church Yard and the Lafayette State Trout Hatchery. From the Yawgoo Valley Ski and Recreation Area to the Metcalf Wildlife Marsh, the area maintains its character as a mix of conservation land, small-scale agriculture at Narrow Lane Farm, and historic crossroads like Gardners Corner and Tripps Corner.
