About this map

The University of Maryland and the College Park Airport anchor the northern landscape of this survey, which documents the rapid mid-century expansion along the Maryland-District of Columbia border. Dense residential growth is evident in planned communities such as University Park, Hyattsville, and Mount Rainier, which are woven together by the routes of the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Pennsylvania RR.

The Anacostia River corridor serves as a focal point for institutional land use, housing the sprawling National Arboretum, the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, and the National Training School for Boys. Closer to the city center, the map identifies significant historic sites like the Franciscan Monastery and Mt Olivet Cem, alongside the Columbia Institution for the Deaf. This sheet captures the region just as major infrastructure like the Baltimore Washington Parkway began to redefine the suburban commuter landscape.
