2024 Map of Macon Lake

About this map

Bayou Macon snakes through this low-lying landscape in Chicot County, defining a complex network of waterways that includes West Boggy Bayou, Clay Bayou, and Swift Bayou. The modern settlement of Macon Lake sits at the junction of US Hwy 65 278 and Co Rd 350, while the community of Panther Forest occupies the eastern edge near Connerly Bayou. The map reveals a land heavily managed for agriculture and conservation, evidenced by the extensive Farm Service Agency Interest of Arkansas tracts. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Pleasant Green Cem, Holly Grove Cem, and Yellow Bayou Cem. The presence of the Diversion Canal Number 1 and numerous drainage features highlights the ongoing engineering efforts to manage the alluvial terrain of the Arkansas Delta.
