2018 Map of Slater

About this map

Slater anchors the southern portion of this central Iowa landscape, positioned at the intersection of a grid-iron road network and the gentle course of Fourmile Cr. To the north, the small settlements of Kelley and Napier sit among the productive fields of the Boone and Story County borderlands. The terrain is defined by the drainage basins of Walnut Cr and Ballard Cr, which meander through the prairie landscape. Near the northeastern corner, the suburban fringes of Ames begin to emerge, marked by the Ames Municipal Airport and its surrounding residential developments such as Suncrest Dr. Scattered throughout the rural sections are essential community landmarks, including Bethany Cem and Sheldahl Cem, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing local families in the area north of Slater.
