1966 Map of Dixie

About this map

The Northern Pacific railroad tracks cut a definitive path through this landscape, serving the agricultural hubs of Dixie and Minnick. This area is characterized by its vital grain infrastructure, with Grain Elevators positioned strategically at Gilliam and Minnick to handle the harvests from the surrounding hills. The topography is defined by the winding courses of Coppei Creek and Dry Creek, alongside the seasonal Mud Creek. Roadways such as Spring Valley Road and Stonecipher Road weave through the terrain, connecting isolated Wells and small family-named landmarks. A lonely Cem and scattered Gravel Pits provide discrete markers of the community's local history and industry during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a well-organized rural network where the railroad and local drainage patterns dictated the placement of every elevator and settlement.
