2017 Map of Slater

About this map

The northern Saline County landscape centers on Slater, a town defined by its grid of streets such as W Front St and Industrial Blvd. This region is a study in Midwestern agricultural settlement and water management, with numerous named drainages like Thrailkill Br and Shiloh Br cutting through the terrain. To the east, the smaller community of Gilliam sits near the map border, while the hamlet of Orearville marks a crossroads further south. For those researching family history, the map identifies several distinct burial sites including Slater City Cem, Mount Moriah Cem, and the more isolated Hickman Cem. The presence of Slater Lake and the branching waters of Bear Cr reflect the natural hydrology that has influenced local farm boundaries and road placements for generations.
