Abstract

Gadsden County is an area of 508 square miles in northwest Florida. The topography of the county is diverse and ranges in altitude from about 50 to 300 feet above mean sea level. Well drained steep hillsides and narrow ridgetops give way to broad, nearly level, poorly drained plateaus which have steep sloping sides, In eastern and central Gadsden county, streams tributary to the Ochlockonee River flow southeastward through a moderately steep terrain. The western part of Gadsden County is an area of rugged and broken topography and deeply incised streams that are tributary to the Apalachicola River.
