About this map

Naval Medical Center and the National Institute anchor the southern edge of this mid-century Montgomery County landscape, marking the significant federal and medical presence in the suburbs north of the capital. The area exhibits a mix of established estates and emerging post-war residential developments, with neighborhoods like Glenmont Forest and Viers Mill Village filling the spaces between historic thoroughfares. The Baltimore and Ohio RR cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving transit-oriented communities such as Garrett Park and Kensington.
