1954 Map of Dixon

About this map

Dixon serves as the primary hub in the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, its street grid and industry anchored by the St Louis San Francisco Railroad. The rail line cuts a diagonal path southeast toward Franks, tracing the high ground above the winding Gasconade River. The landscape transitions from the developed township of Union into the dense timber of the Mark Twain National Forest, where the topography is defined by karst features like Onyx Cave, Slaughter Sink, and Conical Sink.
