About this map

National Capital Parks and historic defensive sites like Fort Dupont and Fort Davis anchor the landscape where the District of Columbia meets Maryland. This contemporary survey captures the densely settled corridor stretching from Anacostia and Twining southeast into the suburban reaches of Prince George's County. The urban-suburban transition is defined by a heavy concentration of memorial sites and religious landmarks, including the Lincoln Memorial Cem and Washington Hebrew Congregation Cem.

Transportation and infrastructure are central to the area's character, with the George Washington Memorial Parkway following the river and the massive footprint of Andrews Air Force Base dominating the eastern edge. Regional aviation is represented by Potomac Airfield and the Washington Executive Airport/Hyde Field in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Significant watercourses like Oxon Run and Henson Creek weave through established neighborhoods such as Glassmanor, Oxon Hill, and Friendly, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped local development for decades.
