This one is an instance of blatant misrepresentation of the non-GNIS source, which says that Slee's Mill is A steam mill on Lick Creek (q.v.), southwest of Palmyra by three or four miles, on the Warren road. So named for the owner. Searching under this name brings up basically nothing. The 1884 History of Marion County, Missouri has some passing mentions to Sallee's Mill which is similar in type and location, but searching under that name doesn't bring up much more. This looks like an old rural mill that has been largely lost to history and was somehow mutated into a community. Hog Farm Talk 03:11, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

- delete There's no feature marked on small-scale topos, nor is there anything that looks like it could have been labelled. GNIS says that the original source is a large-scale topo from 1909, so the location is a bit vague. It comes across as yet another misinterpreted dot on a map.
