1955 Map of McGehee
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
The Missouri Pacific railroad acts as the backbone of settlement in this mid-century Arkansas landscape, connecting the bustling hubs of McGehee and Dermott. The map reveals a complex water management system where natural features like Bartholomew Bayou and Macon Bayou are augmented by a network of drainage channels, including Canal No 43 and Canal No 81. These engineering efforts supported the local agricultural economy, specifically evidenced by the Rice Flumes and irrigation works near Lake Isaacs.
