About this map

The Pentagon and the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial anchor the northern landscape of this urbanized corridor along the Potomac River. The map details the complex intersection of federal installations, suburban neighborhoods, and massive transportation hubs, including the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport sprawling along the riverbank. Residential developments such as Arlington Forest, Shirlington, and Arlington Village show the dense infill of Northern Virginia’s suburbs.

Along the water, the Jones Point Lighthouse marks the historic southern tip of the District of Columbia near the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge. On the eastern shore, the Bolling Anacostia Tract and Buzzard Point define the industrial and military character of the waterfront near the confluence with the Anacostia River. Significant infrastructure is visible throughout, from the Potomac Railroad Bridge to the Alexandria Sanitation Authority Waste Treatment Facility.
