1945 Map of Anacostia

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

St Elizabeths Hospital and the sprawling grounds of Camp Simms overlook the historic Anacostia neighborhood in the final year of World War II. This survey captures a transitional landscape on the edge of the District of Columbia line, where the urban grid of Twining and Randle Highlands begins to give way to the rural crossroads of Prince George's County. Large military and institutional footprints, including Fort Dupont Park and Fort Meigs, reflect the area's strategic topography.
