1950 Map of Gap Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Mobile Swamp and a dense network of freshwater basins dominate this 1950 topography of the Florida Panhandle. The landscape is defined by its diverse wetlands, from the expansive Gap Lake and its associated Gap Lake Swamp to smaller, curiously named features like Lighter Log Pond, Smooth Iron Pond, and Dog Hole. Small rural centers such as Daniels and Daddy Hole appear alongside scattered family burial grounds, including Deadening Cem, White Oak Cem, and Barfield Cem. Community life is anchored by several local congregations, notably Gap Pond Ch and White Oak Ch. Significant topographical markers like Chalk Hill and Hicks Head rise above the surrounding swampy terrain, while the Lookout Tower near the center of the sheet highlights the region's managed timberland history.
