Dixie Divided

I divided my Dixie into Regions based on geographic features that shape particular areas combined with economic drivers for certain sub regions. I compiled these regions based on common knowledge of areas around the south. Where we live and what we do shapes who we are although Garreau lumped all of Dixie into one area living through out the south we know how different each sub region can be. Some areas are much larger than others because of wide spread geographic similarity. The Gulf south having primarily oil and gas manufacturing with some fisheries. If you click on each of the colored regions it gives you a specified name.
