2011 Map of Trenton

About this map

Trenton and Cornish anchor this agrarian landscape along the Bear River, where a complex network of irrigation and water management supports the northern Utah valley. The West Cache Canal and West Canal parallel the river's winding course, illustrating the engineered hydrology essential to the region's agricultural productivity. Smaller settlements like Morton, Utida, and Cottle are spaced along the grid of county roads, while natural landmarks such as Little Mountain, Bergeson Hill, and Big Hill rise above the basin floor. Local history is anchored by the Trenton Cemetery, Cornish Cemetery, and Clarkston City Cemetery, which serve as permanent records of the families that established these communities. To the west, the Newton Reservoir and Newton Dam manage the flow of Newton Creek, marking a distinct shift from the river valley into the surrounding hollows like Butler Hollow and Pullum Hollow.
