2021 Map of Gaskin

About this map

The borderlands of northern Walton County and the Alabama state line define this coastal plain landscape, where the settlement of Gaskin sits near the headwaters of Limestone Creek. The terrain is a complex network of wetlands and small water bodies, including Big Swamp and the unique Natural Bridge formation along Natural Bridge Creek. A distinct pattern of rural life is visible through family-named landmarks such as Danley Hill, Deurell Pond, and E H Myers Pond. The presence of Melanie's Airport near the center of the sheet indicates modern aviation utility amidst the traditional drainage patterns of Cypress Drains and Eightmile Creek. This survey details the interface between the agricultural fields of the Florida panhandle and the dense hydrography of the Caney Creek basin, showing a territory where roads like Co RD 181 W navigate around numerous ponds and bays.
