2011 Map of Halley

About this map

Trippe Junction and Halley anchor this portion of the Arkansas Delta, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of bayous and drainage canals. The geography reveals a classic agricultural settlement pattern with small communities like Hurds and Bellaire linked by a grid of county roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including the Bowie Cemetery, Old Grange Cemetery, and Beasley Cemetery, which are scattered throughout the cultivated fields. The hydrologic complexity of the region is evident in the winding course of Crooked Bayou and the managed waters near Frenchie Lake Dam. Near the northern boundary, the McGehee Municipal Airport and several prominent road junctions reflect the area's role as a local transportation hub in the early 21st century.
