1951 Map of Washington West
USGS Topo · Published 1951About this map
The White House and the Capitol anchor this mid-century portrait of the nation's capital, showing a city in the midst of its post-war expansion. The dense urban corridors of Georgetown and Petworth contrast with the emerging suburban character of neighborhoods like Chevy Chase and Silver Spring across the Maryland line. In Virginia, the street grids of Clarendon and Cherrydale indicate the rapid growth of Arlington County.
