About this map

The Little Snake River meanders across the southern portion of this region, shaping the agricultural and industrial landscape near the settlement of Dixon. Irrigation infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by the First Mesa Ditch and the West Side Canal that follow the river valley. To the north, the terrain rises toward Muddy Mountain and Red Monument, revealing a history of resource extraction with the Cut-off Gulch Opening Mine and Coal Gulch Opening Mine situated along the draws.

Local history is anchored by the Eversole Cemetery north of the river, while the modern era is represented by the Dixon Airport to the east. The landscape is a study in Western water management and topography, transitioning from the flat expanse of Dolan Mesa and Weber Mesa to the intricate drainage systems of Young Draw and Burbank Draw. Roads such as McCarty Canyon Rd provide access through these basins, connecting the river valley to the uplands.
