About this map

Clewiston serves as the industrial and residential hub of this South Florida landscape, where the sugar industry and water management systems dictate the layout of the land. The map reveals a highly engineered environment defined by the Herbert Hoover Dike and the Rim Canal bordering Lake Okeechobee. Infrastructure supporting the local economy is prominent, including Sugar Junction and the Seaboard railroad lines that move goods through the region.

Social and civic life is anchored by the community of Harlem and the recreation areas at Sugarland Park and the Golf Course. Beyond the organized streets of South Clewiston, the terrain transitions into a grid of agricultural fields and canals, such as the L-1 Canal. Local history is noted at Maple Mound and a small Cem, while specialized facilities like the Clewiston Airport and the Filtration Plant underscore the town's mid-century development.
