2015 Map of Slater

About this map

The border between Boone and Story counties defines this agricultural landscape, where the town of Slater stands as a primary hub. Situated along the southern edge of the survey, Slater features a structured grid of streets including Main St and 5th Ave, reflecting its role in the local rural economy. To the north, the small settlements of Kelley and Napier anchor the central and western sections of the township, while the Ames Municipal Airport occupies the northeastern corner, indicating the modern utility of the land. The terrain is drained by meandering waterways like Ballard Cr and Fourmile Cr, which cut through the section lines of the Public Land Survey System. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial sites, including Bethany Cem and Bethlehem Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks among the expansive network of county roads.
