1949 Map of Hudson

About this map

The town of Hudson, located in Weld County, Colorado, sits at an elevation of 5,000 feet as a focal point of this mid-century topographic study. The landscape is defined by the agricultural development of the Missouri River Basin, characterized by an extensive network of irrigation canals and reservoirs that sustain the high plains environment. While the primary mapping was completed just after the war, updates from the late 1970s reveal the expansion of local infrastructure, including a trailer park and updated road classifications. The map details a mix of established town grids and the surrounding pastoral geography, highlighting the transformation of the region through managed water resources and the presence of the Burlington Northern railroad corridor.
