2015 Map of Trenton

About this map

The Saline River winds through the heart of the central Kansas landscape, defining the rural character of the border between Ottawa and Saline counties. Small communities like Marydel, Shipton, and Trenton anchor the local road network, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the fertile river valley. Significant landmarks for local history and genealogy include the Walnut Hill Cem, Crown Point Cem, and Shiloh Cem, which are scattered throughout the agricultural sections. The map reveals a transition from traditional farming towards modern local infrastructure, seen in the presence of Burger's Valley Airport and the development of Saline County State Lake. This survey provides a clear view of the prairie terrain and the precise grid of county roads that have organized this region for generations.
