1950 Map of Slocum

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Slocum sits at a geographic crossroads in southern Rhode Island, where the borders of Exeter, North Kingstown, and South Kingstown converge. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Yawgoo Pond, Barber Pond, and the massive Money Swamp. This mid-century view shows a rural infrastructure built around local landmarks like the State Hospital and the South County Museum. Education and spiritual life are anchored by scattered rural institutions such as the Hitty Corner Sch, Chestnut Hill Sch, and Liberty Ch. Economic activity is evidenced by Yorker Mill Pond and Glen Rock, while the regional transport network is defined by the Victory Highway and Ten Rod Road. These features reveal a community transitioning from its mill-town origins into a more specialized institutional and residential landscape.
