2014 Map of Trenton

About this map

The Bear River meanders through this borderland between Franklin and Cache counties, marking the transition between the agricultural flats of northern Utah and southern Idaho. Central to the landscape is Trenton, surrounded by a grid of rural roads and irrigation features like the W Cache Canal and W Canal. These waterways reflect the region's managed water system, essential for supporting the small settlements of Cornish, Cottle, and Amalga. To the west, the terrain rises toward Pete McCombs Hill and Little Mtn, overlooking the Newton Reservoir and the drainage of Newton Cr. Local history is anchored by several sites of remembrance, including the Cornish Cem, Clarkston City Cem, and Trenton Cem. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the natural river path and the human-engineered canal networks that define the Cache Valley's rural character.
