2017 Map of Trenton

About this map

Trenton serves as the focal point of this Hitchcock County landscape, situated along the northern bank of the Republican River and the eastern edge of Swanson Lake. The town's grid is detailed with street names like W G St and E D St, indicating its local importance as a regional hub. To the north, the land is deeply carved by numerous drainages, most notably Massacre Canyon and Hidy Canyon, which break the high plains terrain. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Trenton Cem, Saint James Cem, and the more isolated Rosefield Cem to the southwest. The presence of the Upper Meeker Canal and Canal Rd highlights the vital role of water management and irrigation in this plains environment. To the south, Spring Canyon and Jones Canyon further define the undulating topography surrounding the expansive reservoir.
