In this map, according to Garreau, the red line represents the region of Dixie. The points on the map represent different automotive businesses that have the word "Dixe" in their name. The highest concentration  of "Dixie" automotive businesses are within Garreau's Dixie region.  The yellow points are outside the region, and the red ones are within the "Dixie" region.

According to the reading, the Dixie region is formed by all three methods of regions, formal, vernacular and functional. With the mapping of the Dixie Automotive businesses we are attempting to look at Dixie in a formal region. We found that this isn't always an ideal way to map the region Dixie because several variables distort the data. The highest concentration of Dixie Automotive businesses is within Garreau's idea of  the Dixie region, however, there are some businesses outside of the line. Upon further investigation by using google maps street view, many of the businesses in Florida and North of the "Dixie" region are named "Dixie" because of the hwy or street that the business is on, or the family that owns the business is named "Dixie" . These businesses have nothing to do with the south or the Dixie region, and only lend that name to their business because of their location or family name and not their sense of "Dixie pride".
