2018 Map of Gateswood

About this map

Gateswood serves as the focal point of this landscape near the Alabama-Florida border, where rural road networks and dense creek systems define the terrain. The presence of Old Pensacola Rd and Waters Ferry Rd highlights the area's history as a transit corridor between Baldwin and Escambia counties. Along the eastern edge, the Perdido River forms the state boundary, fed by numerous tributaries including Nelson Br and Boggy Creek. In the southwestern portion of the quadrangle, the Styx River and Hollinger Creek wind through the lowlands near the Pittman Cem, a primary site for genealogical interest. The map detail reveals a high density of named family roads such as Arley Minchew Rd and Oglesby Fork Rd, reflecting a dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of this coastal plain region.
