This uncommon map shows parts of Georgetown and Washington, D.C. along the Potomac. Including part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal as well as Rock Creek and the Basin. Names the major streets and shows the location of the Washington Monument. Within the Potomac River are many hundreds of soundings plus notes on the bottom material. Place names mentioned include the road to Alexandria, the Alexandria Canal, Mason's Island, Timber Creek, and more. Made under the direction of Capt. L. C. Woodruff by R.W. Burgess of the Topographical Engineers. Engraved by Denis Callahan and printed by the esteemed firm of Julius Bien. A rarely seen issue that should not be confused with the smaller reprint issued in 1891.
