2021 Map of Trail City

About this map

Trail City sits on the high prairie at the border of Dewey and Corson counties, serving as a focal point for this expansive agricultural landscape. This 2021 update to the local topography shows a community defined by its proximity to the rural road network, including Co Rd 9 and Lake Rd. The local infrastructure remains vital to the area, evidenced by the Po and the nearby Trail City Cem. The surrounding terrain is dissected by numerous drainage systems, such as Snake Cr to the north and the winding paths of Du Charme Cr and Handboy Cr further south. These drainages reveal the gradual erosion of the Missouri River plateau, creating a complex series of coulees and ridges that dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Twp Rd. The map illustrates a modern continuation of the region's long-standing ranching and farming traditions.
