About this map

Dixon sits at the confluence of the Flathead River and the Jocko River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding valley and plateau landscapes. The map details a sophisticated water management system vital to this region, including the Mission H Canal, Revais Canal, and Lower Jocko J Canal. These man-made features weave through the terrain alongside natural drainage such as Selow Creek and Mission Creek, illustrating the intersection of natural geography and local infrastructure.

Local history is reflected in the naming of small settlements and landmarks like Old Agency, Agency, and Moiese. Cultural and civic landmarks are clearly marked, such as the Dixon Cemetery, the Dixon Post Office, and the Dixon Rural Fire Dept. The varied topography spans from the low-lying Moiese Valley to prominent heights like Communion Butte and Fescue Ridge, while smaller canyons like Fire Hole Canyon and Spring Canyon cut through the eastern uplands.
