Surveying in Gadsden County

Gadsden County is the only majority-Black county in Florida and borders Georgia to the north. The county's rich agricultural history — particularly shade tobacco farming — has left a legacy of large plantation parcels with complex deed histories dating to the antebellum period.

The Apalachicola River forms the county's western boundary, and Lake Talquin, a reservoir created by damming the Ochlockonee River, creates waterfront survey situations where the ordinary high water line is determined by dam operations rather than natural hydrology.

Proximity to Tallahassee drives some suburban development in the eastern portion of the county, but the majority remains agricultural with large-parcel boundary surveys involving pecan orchards, cattle ranches, and timber tracts.
