2020 Map of McGehee North

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders through the heart of the Arkansas Delta, defining a landscape of wetlands and established agricultural communities at the border of Drew and Desha counties. The town of Tillar serves as a local hub, situated near several smaller settlements including Reed and the northern outskirts of McGehee. This map captures a dense network of local history, preserved in its numerous rural burial grounds such as Seven Star Cem, Austin Cem, and Bogue Pilgrim Cem. The low-lying terrain is punctuated by a series of distinct brakes and bayous, including Coon Bayou Brake, Loggy Bayou, and Paw Paw Brake, illustrating the complex hydrography that has shaped the region's development. Transportation is anchored by the Old Tillar Hwy and local aviation facilities like Tillar Airport and Flying G Ranch Airport.
