This is all off the top of my head, but a ford will generally have flowing water, and a floodway not (or be more slowly flowing). A ford generally crosses a stream bed, whereas a floodway is the roadway part of an area subject to general inundation when floodwaters back up. Both can be much too deep to cross when it's wet.
