About this map

Sebring serves as the focal point of this early 1950s survey, showing its urban core and the prominent Courthouse situated between the shores of Rex Beach Lake and the diverging rail lines. The local economy and transport network are clearly defined by the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line, which intersect the citrus-growing region and provide access to smaller settlements like De Soto City and Kuhlman.

The landscape is dominated by a complex system of freshwater bodies, including the large Lake Josephine and Red Beach Lake, connected by drainage features such as Josephine Creek. In addition to the town infrastructure, the map identifies specific industrial and technical sites like a Sand Pit, a Clay Pit, and an Radio Range Station (Abandoned), offering a detailed view of the central Florida ridge during a period of mid-century development.
