1975 Map of Lake Village NE

About this map

Bayou Macon snakes through the agricultural heart of Chicot County, its winding path defining the drainage patterns and property boundaries of this Delta landscape. This orthophotoquad captures the area in the mid-1970s, showcasing a highly developed rural layout dominated by rectangular field patterns that contrast sharply with the meandering oxbows and curves of the bayou. Near the center of the sheet, the settlement of Macon Lake sits at a strategic junction in the local road network. Further south, Mc Millan Corner serves as a small waypoint in a region defined by extensive land clearing and the systematic management of its rich bottomland soils. The aerial imagery provides a clear view of the relationship between the natural waterways and the intensive farming operations that characterize this portion of Arkansas.
