2020 Map of Macon Lake

About this map

Bayou Macon snakes through this Chicot County landscape, defining the low-lying wetlands and alluvial plains characteristic of the Arkansas Delta. The map reveals a high concentration of watercourses including Boggy Bayou, Swift Bayou, and Clay Bayou, which weave around small agrarian settlements. These communities, such as Elmwood, Bowman, and Panther Forest, are connected by a network of county roads like Chicot 53 Rd and Lewis Rd. For genealogists, the presence of several established burial sites, including Holly Grove Cem, Pleasant Green Cem, and Yellow Bayou Cem, provides specific points of interest for local family research. The landscape is marked by the distinct curvature of ancient river paths, evidenced by the oxbow-like shapes near Macon Lake and the isolated waters of Lost Lake.
