2018 Map of Trenton

About this map

The Skunk River carves a deep valley through this corner of southeast Iowa, defining the boundary between Jefferson and Henry counties. This rural landscape is anchored by the small settlements of Trenton and Merrimac, where the river’s winding course is met by numerous tributaries including Sugar Creek, Walnut Creek, and Brush Cr. The distribution of rural cemeteries across the township reveals a long-established agricultural community, with sites like the German Methodist Cem and White Oak Cem positioned near the rolling breaks of the river valley. The map details a dense network of county roads, such as Co Hwy H28 and White Oak Rd, which navigate the dissected terrain of the t73n r8w and t72n r7w townships.
