About this map

Trenton sits at the northern edge of the Missouri River valley, where the landscape transitions from the high prairie bluffs into the broad riparian corridor. The topography is defined by significant coulees and creek beds that drain toward the river, including Miller Coulee and Bobs Coulee. The presence of Lake Trenton and the wide reach of the Missouri River illustrate the dynamic hydrography of Williams County, further influenced by the backwaters of Lake Sakakawea to the east.

Transportation routes like CO Hwy 2 and the local grid of section roads connect the valley floor to the surrounding heights, such as Crow Fly High Hill. The map detail captures the intersection of natural drainage systems like Eightmile Cr and Sixmile Cr with the organized township and range boundaries that define this portion of North Dakota. This 2017 data reflects the modern rural character and industrial infrastructure common to the region.
