About this map

Hudson serves as the primary hub in this portion of Weld County, where the Interstate 76 corridor, historically followed by Frontage Road I-76, intersects with a dense network of agricultural infrastructure. The landscape is defined by an extensive system of water management, including the Denver-Hudson Canal, Bowles Canal, and Neres Canal, which feed numerous storage bodies like Eshelman Reservoir and Ireland Reservoir Number 6. This intricate grid of ditches and laterals, such as the Box Elder Lateral, reflects the area's deep-rooted reliance on irrigation to support its prairie environment.

To the west, Lochbuie and Tonville mark the southern reach of the survey near the Weld County line. Notable landmarks include the Mountain View Cem overlooking the town of Hudson and the Platte Valley Airpark positioned near Beebe Draw. The terrain is characterized by distinctive formations like The Sand Hills, and localized heights including Riley Mound and Smith Mound, which break the level agricultural expanse.
