2023 Map of Hudson

About this map

Dorchester County's intricate shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay is defined by a series of low-lying peninsulas and protected coves. In the contemporary landscape, small settlements like Hudson and Thomas serve as anchors for a network of rural roads such as Hudson Rd and Hills Point Rd. The map illustrates the fragile geography of the Eastern Shore, where features like James Island and Ragged Island stand separated from the mainland by narrow reaches of water. Genealogical value is found in the preservation of small family-named sites, including the Spedden Seward Cem and Dail Farm Cem. Local aviation is also present through private facilities like Big Oak Farm Airport and the Ragged Island Airport. This 2023 survey provides a clear view of the complex land-water interface at Casson Neck and Hills Point Neck, where the terrain remains deeply tied to the rhythms of Trippe Bay and Brannock Bay.
