About this map

The Wapsipinicon River clips the northeastern corner of this Iowa landscape, defining the northern boundary of a region dominated by agricultural grid-lines and scattered settlements. The community of Dixon sits near the river bend, anchored by the Dixon Post Office and the nearby Dixon Cemetery. To the south and east, the map reveals the distinct locations of New Dixon and Plainview, settlements linked by a network of straight-line section roads like Buena Vista Rd and 270th St.

Hydrology plays a significant role in the local geography, with Walnut Creek winding through the north, where it passes the Conestoga Girl Scout Camp. Further south, the drainage patterns of Mud Creek, Hickory Creek, and Big Elkhorn Creek carve subtle paths through the terrain. Small crossroads such as Hickory Grove and the New Liberty Post Office at the western edge highlight the rural civic nodes of the early 21st century.
