Talk:Dixon, New Mexico
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here is an alternate article that I just did, We'll talk
Dixon NM
Village located in Rio Arriba County New Mexico,on NM Highway 75 at Latitude 36.20 & Longitude -105.89. The elevation of Dixon is 6028 feet [1037 meters] above sea level . It is on the banks of the Embudo River, a tributary of the Rio Grande, which it flows into two miles down stream from Dixon. The population of around 1,200 is fairly evenly divided between Hispanics and Anglos.
Because of the temperate climate generated by the local topography and helped by the acacia ditches [irrigation system] set up by the Spanish around 1800, the Embudo Valley has become a significant fruit and grape growing area and the greater Dixon area boasts of several fine wineries.
The large number of artists and craft people living in the area led to the creation in 1981 of the Dixon Studio Tour which annually draws many visitors during the two days in November that it occupies.
Dixon has a community supported library, radio station, KLDK and food co-op, all of which serve the needs of the whole community.

Also, the links to the highways are for the US road numbers and connect to highways elsewhere. These are, I think, New Mexico numbers. Carptrash 05:48, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
