Location of Providence

edit

The Handbook of Texas states that Providence is off Farm Road 323 near Slocum, but Slocum and FR 323 are southeast of Palestine, not northwest. Providence Church and Cemetery are shown on the USGS topo map at 31°39′37″N 95°24′37″W / 31.66028°N 95.41028°W / 31.66028; -95.41028 — 16 miles (26 km) southeast of Palestine and 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Slocum. They are not listed in the GNIS; I believe the GNIS stopped listing buildings several years ago. --Ken Gallager (talk) 14:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
