The Anacostia River and its major tributaries, including the Northwest Branch Anacostia River and Paint Branch, anchor this detailed look at the borderlands where the District of Columbia and Maryland meet. This urban and suburban corridor is characterized by significant institutional landscapes and sprawling parklands, from the University of Maryland campus and adjacent College Park Airport in the north to the Catholic University of America and Gallaudet University further south. The map documents an area deeply layered with memorial and sacred sites, featuring numerous large burial grounds such as Fort Lincoln Cem, Mount Olivet Cem, and the Congressional Cem. Between the established neighborhoods of Silver Spring and Mount Rainier, the terrain is punctuated by landmarks like Mount Saint Sepulchre and the protected woods of Greenbelt Park.
