1962 Map of Hudson

About this map

The Hudson city center serves as the primary hub of this 1960s Lenawee County landscape, situated at the junction of the New York Central railroad and a network of rural roads. The city is dense with civic features including a High Sch, an Athletic Field, and large burial grounds like Maple Grove Cemetery and Calvary Cem. Moving south into Medina township, the terrain is defined by the winding course of Bean Creek and its many tributaries, including Garrison Drain and Childs Drain. This area reveals a diversified mid-century economy where agriculture met early resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Gravel Pit operations and an Oil Well near the unincorporated settlement of Medina. The map preserves the names of small communities like Prattville and Ridgeville, alongside numerous family-named cemeteries such as Brown Cem and Whitney Cem.
