2024 Map of Slocum

About this map

Dozens of small family burial plots and historic cemeteries are scattered across this landscape, reflecting a deep genealogical history in the rural heart of Washington County. From the Niles Nichols Congdon Lot Cem in the north to the Pegleg Slocum Lot Cem near Usquepaug, these sites provide a granular look at the families who established the settlements of Fisherville, Liberty, and Slocum. The terrain is characterized by numerous low-lying wetlands such as Dead Swamp and Money Swamp, which feed into the Queens River and the Wood-Pawcatuck Watershed. Transport is anchored by the Amtrak rail line cutting through the southeast and the historic New London Tpke running north to south. Notable landmarks include the extensive Veterans Memorial Cem and the NG Camp Fogarty TNG Site on the northern border near Kent County.
