1978 Map of Gateswood

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Perdido River forms the natural boundary between Alabama and Florida in this late 1970s survey, anchoring a landscape defined by timber, transit, and rural community life. The small settlement of Gateswood serves as a local hub, supported by the Lookout Tower nearby. This area illustrates the transition from rail-based industry to modern utility corridors, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade running through the southern terrain alongside contemporary Pipelines. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community centers like New Hope Ch and Hamilton Ch, each accompanied by their respective cemeteries, New Hope Cem and Hamilton Cem. The presence of several Claypits and an Oil Well suggests a land-use pattern focused on resource extraction, while the Bellefontaine Sch marks the site of local education in this creek-veined corner of Baldwin Co.
