About this map

The Potomac River carves a dramatic path through the center of this 2013 landscape, defining the border between Maryland and Virginia. Along its banks, the David Taylor Model Basin stands as a prominent industrial landmark near Carderock. The river itself is dotted with numerous islands, including Plummers Island and Bear Island, while the rugged Mather Gorge and Six Locks reflect the complex hydrology of the region.

Suburban development is densely clustered around historic corridors like Leesburg Pike and Georgetown Pike. Significant local landmarks include Walker Chapel and the historic community of Glen Echo. The map documents the intricate network of residential neighborhoods such as Bannockburn and Fairway Hills, alongside modern commercial hubs like Tysons Galleria. Educational and civic sites like the Potomac School and East Falls Church anchor these established communities.
