David, yes Peach Orchard Gap was on the road you named, but it was more commonly known as Batesville Pike or Batesville Road. There is a gap on the northwest edge of El Paso in Bull Mountain ( more of a Ridge). Highway 5 crosses this gap going north and when you round the curve to the right and it starts to curve back to the left, a road heads off to the east-northeast named El Paso Road. This is still the old civil war road Batesville Pike, it passes through Floyd, Harmony, just west of Center Hill and northeast to Mt Pisgah. It eventually works its way northeast to Batesville, Arkansas.
