1945 Map of Fort Gadsden

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Fort Gadsden stands as the primary landmark in this riverine landscape, positioned near the east bank of the Apalachicola River just as World War II drew to a close. The terrain is dominated by the dense wetlands of the Apalachicola National Forest and the notorious Tates Hell Swamp, where water bodies like Whisky George Creek and Evans Lake define the geography. The map reveals a specialized industrial landscape of timber extraction, characterized by an Old Logging RR and the Apalachicola Northern rail line passing through Buck Siding. Evidence of former timber operations appears at Walker Camp and Padget Camp, marking locations where temporary settlements once supported the forest economy. River transport remains central to the area's identity, noted by features such as Missouri Landing and the winding course of Fort Gadsden Creek.
