1951 Map of Anacostia

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

St Elizabeths Hospital and the Naval Receiving Sta dominate the western edge of this mid-century survey, marking the transition between the urbanized Anacostia district and the rapidly developing hills of Prince Georges Co. This era shows the federal footprint expanding significantly into the Maryland suburbs, evidenced by the Bureau of the Census in Suitland and the massive sprawl of Andrews Air Force Base to the east.
