1981 Map of Macon Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Macon Lake and the serpentine course of Macon Bayou dominate this Chicot County landscape, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of the Mississippi Delta. The map documents an area defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, featuring an extensive network of artificial waterways like the Boeuf River Diversion Canal, Bayou Canal, and Clay Bayou Canal. Small rural settlements such as Norcross, Elmwood, and Bowman are scattered throughout the quadrangle, connected by the Missouri Pacific railroad line which cuts a straight path through the bottomlands. Religious and community life is anchored by local landmarks including Holly Grove Ch and Strangers Rest Ch, while the presence of a Fish Farm and a Fish Hatchery indicates the importance of aquaculture in the local economy during the early 1980s.
