About this map

The Anacostia River and its surrounding heights define the border between the District of Columbia and Maryland on this 2016 survey. The map details the urban and suburban transition southeast of Washington, including the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site and the sprawling grounds of the Saint Elizabeths Hospital Cemeteries. Settlement patterns range from the historic Anacostia neighborhood to Maryland communities like Suitland and District Heights, with the landscape dominated by major infrastructure such as the Suitland Pkwy and Pennsylvania Ave.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous religious and burial sites across the quadrangle, from the Lincoln Memorial Cem near Good Hope to the Washington Hebrew Congregation Cem. Military and aviation interests are represented by the expansive Andrews AFB and smaller facilities like Potomac Airfield. Natural features such as Oxon Run and Henson Creek weave through these developed areas, marking the drainage basins of Prince George's County.
