2014 Map of Macon Lake

About this map

Bayou Macon and its winding tributaries, including Swift Bayou and Boggy Bayou, define the drainage and agricultural patterns of this Chicot County landscape. The settlement at Macon Lake sits at a crossroads along Us 65 HWY N, which serves as a primary north-south artery through the region. This area is characterized by a high concentration of cemeteries, such as Yellow Bayou Cem, Holly Grove Cem, and Tolliver Cem, providing vital geographic anchors for genealogical research. Smaller hamlets like Elmwood, Bowman, and Panther Forest are dispersed among the bayous and drainage canals, illustrating the rural community structure of southeastern Arkansas. The map also traces managed water systems like Diversion Canal Number 1, highlighting the engineering required to maintain the low-lying terrain.
