Bayou Macon is a river in Arkansas and Louisiana, United States. It begins in Desha County, Arkansas, and flows south, between the Boeuf River to its west and the Mississippi River to its east, before joining the Tensas River south of Delhi, Louisiana. Bayou Macon is about 218 miles (351 km) long.[1]
L. D. Knox of Winnsboro, a perennial Louisiana political candidate, owned some 1,400 acres (5.7 km2) about Bayou Macon, land which he hand cleared and cultivated in what he considered to have been an aberrant but advanced style of agriculture.[2]
