2014 Map of Dixie Meadows

About this map

Dixie Meadows sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape within the Malhuer National Forest, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with Wickup Cr, Standard Cr, and Dads Cr carving deep into the mountain slopes. Evidence of land use and local history appears in names like Slaughterhouse Gulch and Honeymoon Canyon, suggesting a legacy of ranching and early backcountry exploration. High points such as Dixie Butte and the prominent Ragged Rocks oversee a region accessed by a web of forest service routes, including the Dixie Creek Rd and the Natl Forest Develop Road 791 Rd. The map also captures the transition from the protected forest land toward the John Day Hwy corridor near Ricco Ranch Ln.
