1967 Map of Slayton
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Slayton serves as the regional hub for this prairie landscape, where two major rail lines intersect at the height of the mid-century agricultural era. The Chicago and North Western passes through the northern edge near Hadley, while the Chicago Milwaukee St Paul and Pacific crosses through Iona in the south. This transport network supported a landscape of small local institutions, from West Sch and School No 1281 to the St Columba Cem. To the west, the glacial topography is marked by Summit Lake and Corabelle Lake, while the Schoeberl State Wildlife Management Area highlights the conservation of local habitat amidst the surrounding township grids. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and the Slayton Municipal Airport near the town center reflect the post-war development and modern recreation typical of the 1960s.
