It has an accessible coast with some fine coves and beaches, where the fishing industry has thrived for generations. It has numerous rolling hills, which could hardly be termed mountains but which add to the picturesque view of the country side. The land is adaptable for farming interests, but the farms are small and underdeveloped and certainly not of a profit-making enterprise for the farmer. The district runs along the coastal waters north-wardly from the northern boundary of Creignish near Long Point to the southern boundary of Port Hood near Little Judique. It is subdivided into Judique North and Judique South and between these two divisions, and on the lateral areas, we have divisions named Hillsdale, Judique Interval, St. Ninian, River Denys, Rear Long Point and Centennial.
Visitors find so many divisions of such a small community rather amusing.
The surnames in this district are all predominantly Scottish, such as MacDonald, MacEachern, Campbell, Chisholm, MacInnis, Gillis, MacDonell, and Graham, only to mention a few. There were and still are a great many Johns, Donalds, Angus' and Hughs. Having so many similar names it was often necessary to distinguish them by whose son they were or by a nickname which was attributed to the family. They were also distinguished according to the particular district they came from, for example, Rear Judique, Rear Long Point, or Banks Long Point. Thus we can see the necessity of having various divisions within the district of Judique.
