About this map

The railroad-influenced layout of Slater dominates the northern landscape of this Missouri quadrangle, where a grid of streets like N Broadway Ave and Commercial Ave meet the industrial corridor of Industrial Blvd. Beyond the city center, the terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous small streams including Rock Creek and Thrailkill Br, which carve through the agricultural fields of Saline County.

Several burial grounds, including the Slater City Cemetery and the more remote Hickman Cemetery and Mount Horeb Cemetery, provide key touchpoints for genealogical research in the rural townships. The map also captures the smaller settlements of Gilliam to the northeast and Orearville to the south, connected by a network of rural routes such as 310th Rd and 240th Rd, illustrating the persistent 19th-century settlement patterns that remain visible into the 21st century.
