2020 Map of Gateswood

About this map

Gateswood serves as a central point in this rural landscape of eastern Baldwin County, situated where the Perdido River forms the natural boundary between Alabama and Florida. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Hollinger Creek, Beetree Cr, and Bellefontaine Cr, which eventually feed into the Styx River at the southern edge of the survey. This 2020 edition provides a look at the modern road network, which still follows historic alignments like the Old Pensacola Rd and Waters Ferry Rd. For those researching local history, Pittman Cem is a notable landmark, while recreation is represented by the Perdido Canoe Trail - Section 1 (Water). The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, marked by named family routes such as Arley Minchew Rd and Peter Morris Rd.
