2011 Map of Washington West

About this map

The Potomac River carves through the heart of the capital region, separating the federal districts and Maryland suburbs from the burgeoning neighborhoods of Northern Virginia. This detailed survey captures the institutional density of the city, from The White House and the Washington Monument to the academic hubs of Georgetown University and American University. The landscape is a network of circles and squares, including Dupont Circle and McPherson Square, which define the city's unique radial planning. Beyond the marble monuments, the map reveals the extensive green spaces of Rock Creek Park Public Golf Course and the solemn grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. Significant infrastructure such as the Union Station Post Office and the Jersey Railroad Yard highlight the city's role as a primary transportation and logistics hub for the East Coast.
