2014 Map of Washington East

About this map

The Anacostia River and its multiple branches, including the Northeast Branch and Northwest Branch, define the dense urban and suburban landscape along the boundary between the District of Columbia and Prince George's County. This 2014 survey captures a mature residential network spanning from Silver Spring to the historic grounds of the Congressional Cem and the Arsenal Monument. The map reflects a legacy of institutional land use, showing the expansive campuses of the Catholic Univ of America and Gallaudet Univ, alongside early aviation history at the College Park Airport. A series of civil defense and recreation sites known as the Fort Circle Parks, including Fort Bunker Hill and Fort Mahan Park, form a green perimeter through neighborhoods like Woodridge and Brookland, preserving the city's nineteenth-century defensive footprint within a modern metropolitan context.
