1965 Map of Kensington
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
Montgomery County suburbanization reaches a fever pitch in the mid-1960s, as shown by the dense red-tinted residential developments surrounding Kensington and Wheaton. The landscape is transitioning from the rolling hills of the Northwest Branch Park and Rock Creek Park into a modern metropolitan corridor defined by the Capitol Beltway and Washington National Pike. Major institutional footprints dominate the southern portion of the sheet, including the sprawling grounds of the National Institutes of Health and the Naval Medical Center.
