1957 Map of Hudson

About this map

Hudson serves as the central hub of this mid-century landscape, situated at the confluence where the Popo Agie River meets the Little Wind River. The area is defined by its industrial and agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous irrigation projects like the Sub-Agency Ditch, Coolidge Ditch, and Arapahoe Ditch that draw from the Wind River. A notable historical layer is visible in the transport network, including the Old Hudson Railroad Grade and an Old Railroad Grade snaking through the terrain toward the south. The economic history of the region is further grounded in several Coal Mines and a Coal Mine (Inactive) located south of the town center, while the Wind River Indian Reservation boundary cuts through the local topography, marking a significant jurisdictional division in the Valley.
