About this map

Alexandria and its dense northern Virginia suburbs are documented here at a moment of significant 21st-century urban density and institutional presence. The Potomac shoreline is a complex landscape of transportation and defense, anchored by Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and the National Defense University. The map traces a deep history of local interment, from the historic Alexandria National Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery to smaller family and community grounds like Lomax Cemetery.

Neighborhoods such as Arlington Heights and Arlandria show the intricate residential pattern of the D.C. metro area, while the Alexandria Sanitation Authority Waste Treatment Facility and Alexandria Combined Sewer System signify the massive infrastructure supporting the regional population. Natural landmarks like the Potomac River and Four Mile Run are interspersed with modern commercial hubs like the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, reflecting the transition from the river-based economy of Morris and Nicholson Wharf to the contemporary tech and government corridor.
