This is a great plan of the capital with all streets, railroads, bridges, buildings and monuments located and named. It shows part of Uniontown (or Anacostia), the Arlington National Cemetery, Georgetown College, and much more. The rail road system is shown with red, blue and green overprinting. On this example the colorist forgot to place rail colors in the legend. All surrounded by a bold border with decorative corner elements.
