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.
