According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 0.9 square miles (2.3 km²), all land.

Geology

The Pennsylvanian Allegheny Formation underlies most of the town of Dixonville. The hills to the east and west are underlain by the Glenshaw Formation. The axis of the Dixonville syncline trends northeast and passes north of the town. To the west of the town are kimberlite dikes of Jurassic age.

The kimberlite dikes are known as the Dixonville-Tanoma dikes, and were discovered in the Barr Slope coal mine and in the Tanoma coal mine, which mined the Lower Freeport Coal bed of the upper Allegheny Formation. The dikes are not exposed at the surface.
