1952 Map of Dixon

About this map

Dixon Ridge dominates the terrain of this northern California landscape, centered on the growing rail and agricultural hub of Dixon. The 1968 photorevisions, indicated in purple, reveal the town's expansion beyond its historic core, particularly toward the County Fairgrounds. The transportation network is defined by the diagonal corridor of the Southern Pacific railroad and the modern route of Highway 80, which connects the cluster of schools like High Sch and West Dixon Sch to the surrounding rural landscape. To the northeast, the Los Putos Grant Boundary reflects the region's early land tenure history. The map also documents the presence of the U S Government Naval Reservation in the southeast, while smaller rail sidings and settlements like Batavia and Sucro anchor the outlying agricultural areas along Sweeny Creek and Dudley Creek.
