About this map

Slater serves as the primary hub of activity in this section of Saline County, where a dense grid of streets like W Lincoln St and N Jefferson St meet industrial corridors along Watts St. The surrounding landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Rock Cr, Bear Cr, and Thrailkill Br, which carve out the subtle drainage patterns of the Missouri interior.

Genealogists will find this particular sheet especially valuable for its high density of rural burial sites. Beyond the larger Slater City Cem, the map documents several smaller family and community grounds such as the Orear Family Cem and Orearville Cem near the settlement of Orearville, as well as Hickman Cem and Mount Horeb Cem further west. These markers, along with the proximity of Gilliam and the presence of Slater Lake, provide a detailed look at the 21st-century footprint of long-established agricultural communities.
