2013 Map of Slater

About this map

Slater anchors the southern portion of this Story County landscape, where the town's residential grid meets the primary corridor of 210. This central Iowa region is defined by a deep-seated agricultural grid, punctuated by small rural settlements such as Kelley and Napier. The terrain is drained by several small watercourses, including Walnut Cr, Ballard Cr, and Fourmile Cr, which meander through the prairie soils between the strictly aligned roads. In the northeast, the presence of the Ames Municipal Airport along Airport Rd and S Loop Dr signals the expansion of infrastructure near the county's major population center. Notable local thoroughfares like Zumwalt Station Rd and Co Hwy E63 provide a network connecting these tight-knit communities, reflecting a landscape that has maintained its rural character while supporting modern transportation needs.
