2022 Map of Trenton

About this map

The Jones County Courthouse serves as the focal point of Trenton, a riverine town situated along the winding banks of the Trent River. This landscape is defined by its low-lying, water-dense geography, where agricultural lands are carved out between the Great Dover Swamp to the north and the White Oak Pocosin to the south. The rural character of the region is punctuated by small crossroads communities like Olivers, which sits near the southern boundary where Mill Run and Little Hell Cr drain toward the coast. Military presence is noted at the Oak Grove Marine Corps Outlying Field in the southeastern quadrant, reflecting the area's strategic coastal plain utility. Local hydrography is particularly intricate, with named features such as Island Branch Swamp and Musselhell Cr weaving through the eastern woods.
