About this map

The agricultural landscape surrounding Dixon is bisected by the Southern Pacific railroad and the 80 corridor, reflecting a region defined by transit and trade during the mid-20th century. This survey, updated with 1981 revisions, details the growth of the town from its original center near City Park and the High Sch to the expanding residential areas. To the south, large-scale utility and federal infrastructure is evident in the Naval Reservation and its communication facilities, while the County Fairgrounds east of the rail line marks a community hub for the Solano County area.

Rural landmarks like the Tremont School and the small siding at Sucro illustrate the scattered nature of local settlements and education. Water management is critical to this central valley terrain, seen in the irrigation network and the presence of numerous Windmills across the plains. Historical boundaries like the Los Putos Boundary provide a layer of older land division atop the grid of county roads and drainage ways like McCune Creek.
