2011 Map of Macon Lake

About this map

Bayou Macon and its winding tributaries dominate this Chicot County landscape, revealing a complex drainage network vital to the region's delta agriculture. Small rural clusters like Macon Lake, Elmwood, and McMillan Corner are positioned along the primary transit corridors, while the Connerly Bayou Pumping Station Dam in the southeast highlights the engineering required to manage the area's hydrology. For genealogists and local historians, several family and community landmarks are visible, including the Pleasant Green Cemetery and Tolliver Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition from natural watercourses like Swift Bayou and Crooked Bayou to man-made features such as Diversion Canal Number 1, reflecting decades of water management in the Arkansas lowlands.
