2024 Map of Trenton

About this map

Trenton sits at a significant bend in the Missouri River where the river's path defines the border between Williams and McKenzie Counties. This landscape is characterized by the wide river valley and the intricate network of water features that drain into it, including Eightmile Creek and Painted Woods Creek. The presence of Lake Trenton, an oxbow feature north of the main channel, suggests the river's historical shifts across the floodplain. The terrain rises sharply from the river bottoms to high points like Crow Fly High Hill in the south and dissected plateaus to the north.
