1945 Map of Washington West
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Arlington National Cemetery and the monumental core of the nation's capital define this mid-century portrait of a rapidly expanding metropolitan area. The landscape is a mix of dense urban development and the strategic defensive rings of the Civil War era, preserved as parkland at Fort Stevens, Fort De Russey, and Fort Reno. The transit network is in a state of transition, showing the C & O Canal (Abandoned) alongside the active Baltimore and Ohio RR and an intricate web of avenues like Massachusetts Ave and Wisconsin Ave that spurred growth in neighborhoods such as Cleveland Park and Chevy Chase.
