1964 Map of Trenton

About this map

Trenton serves as a central hub in this Fannin County landscape, situated at the junction of the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad and local thoroughfares. The 1964 survey captures a rural Texas economy transitioning between traditional agriculture and localized industry, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits, Borrow Pits, and a Quarry dotting the terrain. The hydrological network is dominated by the winding path of Bois d'Arc Creek and its many tributaries, including Chinquapin Creek and Blanton Creek. Genealogy and local history are preserved through the locations of rural landmarks like Blanton Chapel, East Shady Grove Ch, and the Burns Cem near Nobility. The map also details early water management infrastructure, such as the Thomas Lake reservoir with its Spillway and the municipal Sewage Disposal Ponds south of the Trenton town site.
