1963 Map of Hudson

About this map

Hudson anchor’s the southwestern corner of this mid-century survey, situated along the diagonal path of the Chicago Great Western railroad. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Black Hawk Creek, which creates a lush corridor through the agricultural lands of Black Hawk and Orange townships. The map documents the outskirts of Waterloo and Cedar Falls before the significant suburban expansion of the later 20th century, showing a pattern of section-line roads and dispersed farmsteads.
