- The land lying between Bayou Macon and the
Mississippi, lower than the natural levees of the two streams, formed a depression that
was inundated in periods of flood. After traveling from Jefferson County, Arkansas,
for 250 miles, Bayou Macon joins the Tensas 42 miles before the latter reaches the Black
River. When white men first appeared on the edge of the basin, except for a small
branch of the Natchez tribe, the Tensas, no Indians permanently occupied the region.
-
- The French, during their occupation of Louisiana, made no
permanent settlements on Bayou Macon or on
- the Tensas.
