2014 Map of Hudson

About this map

The city of Hudson serves as the primary hub on this Lenawee County borderland, where the street grid fans out across the upper Bean Cr watershed. This 2014 survey captures the distinct transition between the concentrated urban settlement of Hudson and the surrounding agricultural landscape, characterized by a high density of rural cemeteries that mark the area's heritage. To the east, the sprawling Lake Hudson dominates the terrain, while the smaller hamlets of Medina and Lime Creek define the more southern reaches near the Hillsdale County line. The map reveals an intricate network of local drainage features such as Medina Drain and Henning Drain, essential for managing the low-lying farmland that surrounds these historic communities. For researchers, the abundance of burial grounds, including the Old Sacred Heart Church Cem and Maple Grove Cem, provides significant genealogical value for tracing the families of southern Michigan.
