2009 Map of Trenton

About this map

The Saline River winds in tight oxbows across this Saline County landscape, defining the character of the river valley north of interstate transit. In this part of central Kansas, the agrarian grid is punctuated by small settlements like Marydel, Shipton, and Trenton, which anchor the surrounding farmsteads. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Crown Point Cemetery and Walnut Hill Cemetery, often located near these small community centers. The map illustrates a transition between the wandering river course and the straightened section lines of roads such as W Lockard Rd and Humbargar Rd. These corridors facilitate local travel between the river basin and more established transit routes, while Shiloh Cemetery sits at the southern edge, marking one of the few named landmarks in this stretch of rural prairie.
