About this map

The Anacostia River and its numerous tributaries, including Paint Branch and Northwest Branch Anacostia River, define the eastern suburbs of the nation's capital. This landscape is a densely integrated corridor of residential neighborhoods and extensive parklands, such as Greenbelt Park and the widespread National Capital Parks. Significant history is anchored in several memorial sites, including the Fort Lincoln Cemetery and the Congressional Cemetery near the river's bend.

Modern transit networks are superimposed over early aviation history at College Park Airport and civil defense sites like Fort Lincoln. Local genealogy is well-supported by the clear marking of established communities such as Takoma Park, New Carrollton, and College Park. The map also details early transportation and recreation routes, featuring the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail and the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail.
