1952 Map of Dixon

About this map

Dixon sits at the heart of this mid-century agricultural landscape, defined by its position along the Southern Pacific railroad. The town's grid is punctuated by local institutions like the High Sch and County Fairgrounds, while the surrounding terrain is a network of water management features, including numerous windmills and reservoirs essential for the region's farms. Beyond the town, the survey captures the small communities of Batavia, Sucro, and Tremont, the latter featuring the Tremont School. The topography follows Dixon Ridge, with drainage provided by Dudley Creek and Sweany Creek. To the southeast, the Naval Reservation and a U S Government Reservation indicate a federal presence alongside the established private agricultural interests and the old Los Putos Boundary Grant.
