How to Use This Dixon, Nebraska Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Dixon, Nebraska. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Nebraska or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Dixon.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Dixon occupies a quiet expanse of the Nebraska plains where the sky claims more territory than the earth. It lies 30.0 miles west of South Sioux City, NE (from South Sioux City, NE: bearing 263°T), and is situated 12.9 miles north of Wayne. North Logan Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the loess soil, its presence marked by a thin ribbon of riparian growth that cuts through the vast, cultivated grid of the surrounding farmland. The horizon serves as the primary fact of life here, a relentless, flat line that emphasizes the scale of the clouds as they drift over the fields. To the west, the landscape lifts slightly toward the distant silhouette of Cottonwood Hill, while the nearby waters of Fharenholtz Reservoir offer a rare, still interruption to the endless motion of the prairie grasses.

Dixon maintains a steady, deliberate pace defined by the cycle of the harvest and the persistent demands of an agrarian economy. Life in Dixon is tethered to the rhythm of the seasons, echoing the endurance of early settlers who broke the heavy sod to carve out a living on these plains. Beyond the immediate fields, the terrain dips toward the quiet drainage of Tar Box Hollow, a reminder of the geologic forces that shaped this region long before the arrival of modern machinery. Those seeking the stillness of the natural world often look toward the Thompson-Barnes Wildlife Management Area, where the native grasses remain undisturbed, preserving a fragment of the landscape as it appeared in the pioneer memory.

About This Dixon Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dixon, Nebraska. Coordinates: 42.416112, -96.997268. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Dixon includes the ZIP code (68732), telephone area code (402), county seat of Dixon County (Ponca), and school district assignment (Laurel-Concord-Coleridge School).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
