About this map

McArthur and the northern reaches of McGehee anchor this landscape of the Arkansas Delta, where the drainage patterns of the Mississippi River floodplain define the land's use. The area is intersected by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Coon Bayou and the significant Little Bayou Macon. This 2020 survey reveals a rural economy dependent on well-managed irrigation and drainage, as evidenced by Canal Number 10 and Canal Number 12.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites noted across the township, such as Warrington Cem, McArthur Cem, and Palestine Cem. Aviation is represented by both the McGehee Municipal Airport and the Flying G Ranch Airport, while a dense grid of rural routes like Cotton Patch Rd and Great River Rd provides access to the scattered homesteads and agricultural plots throughout Desha County.
