2019 Map of Washington West

About this map

Washington's western expanse and its across-the-river neighbors appear in high detail at this contemporary moment, showing the complex overlap of civic, military, and federal space. The Potomac River serves as the central artery, flanked by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park and the extensive Arlington National Cemetery. The map captures a dense network of neighborhoods from Georgetown and Columbia Heights to suburban Bethesda and Silver Spring Park. Significant federal installations like the Naval Observatory and Fort Myer sit alongside iconic memorials including the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous historic burial sites such as Holy Rood Cem, The Glenwood Cem, and the small Donaldson Family Graveyard near Arlington.
