About this map

Dixon stands as a central hub in Solano County, its residential core expanding as captured in purple revisions from the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the subtle rise of Dixon Ridge and the engineered paths of the Southern Pacific railroad, which historically dictated the growth of nearby settlements like Batavia and Sucro. The agricultural character of the region is evident in the numerous Windmills dotting the parcels, while civic life is anchored by several local educational institutions, including West Dixon Sch, Jacobs Sch, and the High Sch.

To the east, the County Fairgrounds and Tremont School mark the transition toward more rural territory. The southern reaches of the map include a substantial military presence, notably the Naval Reservation and U S Government Reservation. Waterways such as Dudley Creek, McCune Creek, and Sweany Creek cut through the plain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped early land grants like the Los Putos Boundary Grant.
