The Anacostia River and the expanding borderlands between the District of Columbia and Prince George's County define this mid-1950s landscape. Established institutions like St Elizabeths Hospital and the U S Navy Hydrographic Office sit alongside emerging residential developments such as Glassmanor and Silver Hill. The map records a significant concentration of federal and military infrastructure, including the sprawling Andrews Air Force Base and the U S Census Bureau.
