About this map

The agricultural landscape of Dixon Ridge defines this portion of Solano County, where the town of Dixon serves as the central hub. The community's growth is mapped through various periods, showing established institutions like the County Fairgrounds and the High Sch. The transit-oriented layout is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad, which historically spurred small trackside settlements such as Batavia and Sucro.

Deeply rooted in its ranching history, the map depicts the Los Putos Grant Boundary, a remnant of California's land grant era. Education in the rural outskirts is represented by a network of local institutions, including West Dixon Sch, Jacobi Sch, and the Tremont School. To the south, the presence of the Naval Reservation and a U S Government Reservation signals a federal footprint in this otherwise fertile valley terrain drained by Dudley Creek.
