1945 Map of Fort Gadsden

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Fort Gadsden stands as a focal point in this 1940s survey of the Franklin County riverfront, where the land transitions from the dense thickets of Tates Hell Swamp to the banks of the Apalachicola River. The map documents an era of industrial transition in the Florida Panhandle, marked by the remnants of the timber industry and river-based transport. Evidence of former logging operations is scattered across the Apalachicola National Forest, including the Old Logging RR and now-vacant sites such as Walker Camp and Padget Camp. Along the waterways, features like Missouri Landing and Buck Siding reflect a landscape defined by seasonal camps and rail spurs. The intricate drainage network of Whisky George Creek, Hell Branch, and Evans Lake illustrates the complex hydrology that historically challenged movement through this part of the state.
