About this map

Clewiston anchors the southern edge of this modern survey where the marshy expanse of Lake Okeechobee meets the developed sugarlands of South Florida. The landscape is defined by a massive water-management network, including the Rim Canal and the Okeechobee Waterway, which buffer the lake from inland agricultural zones. Small settlements like Sugarton, Shawnee, and Liberty Point are positioned along the grid of canals and local roads such as Co Rd 720 and Shawnee Farms Rd, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on reclaimed land.

Within the lake's littoral zone, distinct terrain features like Observation Island, Moonshine Bay, and Grass Island remain visible among the wetlands. For recreation and transit, the Florida National Scenic Trl follows the levee system, providing a continuous path through the borderlands of Glades and Hendry Counties. Researchers can also locate Ridgelawn Cem on the eastern outskirts of the city, marking a significant site for local history.
