1949 Map of Hudson

About this map

Agricultural development and water management define this landscape on the High Plains, where the Burlington Northern railroad corridor anchors the growing community of Hudson. The reliance on irrigation for local farming is evident in the dense network of water features, including the Burlington Canal, Speer Canal, and Beebe Seep Extension Ditch. These waterways feed numerous reservoirs like Ireland Reservoir No 6 and Eshelman Reservoir, which dot the terrain alongside natural landmarks such as Riley Mound and Smith Mound.
