About this map

Anacostia and the suburban expanses of Prince George's County are documented here in a period of significant regional connectivity. The landscape is defined by a dense network of residential communities such as Fairlawn, District Heights, and Clinton, many of which developed around historic crossroads like Pagetts Corner and Gordons Corner. The area's social and community infrastructure is particularly visible through its numerous civic markers, including the Frederick Douglass Post Office and the Suitland Post Office.

Large-scale recreational and utility sites are prominent, from the Rosecroft Raceway to the Henson Creek Golf Course. Aviation history and infrastructure are represented in the south by the Washington Executive Airport and Potomac Airfield. The map also serves as an important record for genealogical research, identifying numerous memorial grounds such as the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery, Saint Ignatius Cemetery, and Washington National Cemetery, alongside the Saint Elizabeths Hospital Cemeteries near the Anacostia River.
