1973 Map of Gaskin

About this map

Eightmile Creek Ch and the settlement at Gaskin anchor this survey of the Florida-Alabama borderlands during the 1970s and 1980s. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where Eightmile Creek and Natural Bridge Creek carve through the terrain near the unique geological formation of the Natural Bridge. While small settlements like Red Bay occupy the higher ground, much of the area remains dominated by low-lying wetlands such as Big Swamp and Big Swamp Annex, along with numerous named basins like Punch Bowl Pond and Manning Pond.
