USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Washington Cathedral and the Naval Observatory stand as prominent landmarks in this mid-century survey of the nation's capital. The map captures the dense urban core and expanding suburban neighborhoods during a period of significant post-war growth. To the west, residential developments like Bradley Hills, Kenwood, and Palisades line the banks of the Potomac River, while the heart of the District remains defined by the White House, the U S Capitol, and the Smithsonian Institution.
