Explore Slater, Missouri, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Slater, Missouri. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Missouri or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Slater.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Slater emerges from the broad, flat expanse of the Missouri plains where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by the distant, jagged shadows of Hog Ridge. It lies 9.5 miles northeast of Marshall, MO (from Marshall, MO: bearing 46°T), and is situated 24.3 miles northwest of Boonville. The landscape surrounding Slater holds a quiet, heavy stillness, defined by the slow, deliberate turn of the earth and the thin, silver ribbon of Rock Creek that marks the low ground a short distance away. Light here possesses a peculiar, lingering quality, particularly at dusk when the sun bleeds across the fields, turning the soil into a deep, bruised purple that contrasts against the pale sky. A mile to the east, the water of Slater Lake remains glass-still, reflecting the seasonal shifts of the prairie grasses that fringe its banks, while the land itself rises and falls in long, muscular swells that suggest the ancient, slow-motion labor of the earth.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, a legacy tied to the dark, fertile loam that has sustained generations of families who arrived with the expansion of the rail lines. The rhythm of life in Slater follows the slow maturation of crops, a cycle that feels both permanent and fragile, punctuated by the seasonal migration of waterfowl toward the Big Muddy National Fish And Wildlife Refuge. While the distant, rugged terrain of Coon Hollow hints at a more dramatic topography, the immediate vicinity retains a stoic, agrarian character where the wood-frame houses and brick storefronts bear the patina of a century spent weathering the wind. People here share a plain-spoken, deliberate demeanor, favoring the substance of hard work over the vanity of ornament, much like the land that demands a steady hand and a patient, observant eye.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
