2020 Map of Trenton

About this map

Bear River dominates the central corridor of this Cache Valley landscape, winding through a complex system of agricultural grids and drainage features like The Slough and Newton Cr. The survey illustrates a borderland geography where Cornish sits just south of the Utah-Idaho stateline, connected by a network of rural routes such as Stateline Rd and W Center St. The placement of the Trenton Cem, Cornish Cem, and Newton Cemetery suggests long-established settlement patterns in these fertile lowlands. Significant elevation changes are noted at Bergeson Hill and Little Mtn, which overlook the small hubs of Trenton, Amalga, and Morton. This modern topographic study reveals how the valley floor remains defined by its watercourses and a rigid grid of country roads that serve as the lifeline for these small communities.
