2011 Map of Hudson

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates the western half of this maritime landscape, where the intricate shoreline of Dorchester County meets the Little Choptank River. The survey reveals a coastal environment defined by narrow necks and tidal coves, including Hills Point Neck and Casson Neck. Small bayfront communities such as Hudson, Thomas, and James are connected by a network of local roads like Cook Point Rd and Hills Point Rd, which follow the contours of the land to reach isolated points. Private aviation infrastructure is evident at Big Oak Farm Airport and Ragged Island Airport, highlighting the region's reliance on both air and water travel. To the south, James Island and Ragged Island sit offshore, while landmarks like Sharps Island Light and Susquehanna Point serve as critical navigational markers along this highly articulated section of the Maryland coast.
