1943 Map of Slocum

About this map

Slocum and the rural townships of Exeter and West Greenwich define this wartime landscape, where the New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad cuts a straight line through the eastern valley. The map reveals a highly decentralized educational network, noting isolated schoolhouses like the Hitty Corner Sch and Chestnut Hill Sch serving small upland communities. Large tracts of wetlands and water bodies, including Yawgoo Pond and Arrow Swamp, suggest a landscape still heavily influenced by its natural drainage patterns and glacial terrain, with several small mills once powered by the Queen River and Reynolds Brook.
