2011 Map of McArthur

About this map

McArthur sits at the heart of this Desha County landscape, a settlement defined by the winding course of the local bayous and a network of drainage infrastructure. The area's agricultural character is evident in the straight lines of Canal Number 43 and Canal Number 16, which cut through the terrain to manage the waters of the Mississippi Delta. Local genealogy is anchored by three distinct burial sites: Warrington Cemetery, McArthur Cemetery, and Palestine Cemetery, each situated near the town or along the rural roads. To the south, the presence of the McGee Municipal airfield marks a point of modern transit, while the natural hydrology of Big Slough and Boggy Bayou continues to shape the low-lying eastern portion of the quadrangle.
