2024 Map of McArthur

About this map

McArthur sits at the heart of this Desha County landscape, where the agricultural patterns of the Arkansas Delta meet a complex network of waterways. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Coon Bayou, Boggy Bayou, and the Little Bayou Macon, supplemented by engineered drainage like Canal Number 16 and Canal Number 43. This contemporary survey reveals a rural economy supported by local aviation, including the McGehee Municipal Airport and the private Flying G Ranch Airport. For those tracing local families, the map anchors the community through several burial sites, such as McArthur Cem, Warrington Cem, and Palestine Cem. The presence of the Great River Rd cutting through the center highlights the area's role in the broader regional transportation corridor along the Mississippi alluvial plain.
