1965 Map of Slaton

About this map

Slaton serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, illustrating a well-developed grid of streets such as Garza St and Dayton St that supported the local community and the rail economy. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad bisects the landscape diagonally, connecting the town to the smaller settlement of Posey to the northwest. This transportation corridor was essential for moving goods through the southern High Plains, particularly for the scattered Quarry sites and agricultural operations visible across the plains.
