2016 Map of Hudson

About this map

Hudson and the small settlements of James and Thomas occupy the complex, water-broken shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay's eastern shore. This landscape is defined by its deep integration with the estuary, where land masses like Casson Neck and Hills Point Neck are nearly bisected by tidal inlets such as Brooks Creek and Hudson Creek. The map illustrates a coastal economy reliant on both land and sea, evidenced by small private airfields like Big Oak Farm Airport and Ragged Island Airport positioned alongside maritime infrastructure. Offshore, the remnants of James Island and Ragged Island stand in the Chesapeake Bay, marking the ongoing transformation of the shoreline. The intricate network of local roads, including Hudson Wharf Rd and Cooks Point Rd, connects isolated points and coves, reflecting the historic transport patterns of Dorchester County's waterfront communities.
