1981 Map of Halley
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors this early 1980s landscape, serving as a transit spine through the Arkansas Delta. The winding course of Bayou Macon snakes across the terrain, accompanied by a complex network of artificial waterways including Canal No 19 and Canal No 18. This infrastructure reflects the intensive agricultural management of the region at the time. Small rural settlements like Halley and Bellaire are documented alongside vital community landmarks such as Providence Ch and St James Ch. Genealogists can find several family-named or local burial sites, including Beasley Cem and Old Grange Cem, which sit near the borders of Chicot and Desha counties. The transition from the municipal hub of McGehee in the northwest to the low-lying wetlands of Boggy Bayou reveals the distinct contrast between developed town centers and the managed river bottoms.
