These two maps were part of a 12 map set published to show the large-scale improvements in the infrastructure of the city since the Greene maps of 1880. They were prepared by Capt. W.T. Rossell of the Army's Corps of Engineers to accompany the annual report of the Commissioners, District of Columbia. Both maps carry the title “Statistical Map No. –“, are drawn on identical scales, and show street railways and the water supply system with color-coded keys at bottom. In addition to the infrastructure, the maps highlight the National Mall, locating the Executive, Monument, Smithsonian and Capitol Grounds. Lithographed by Norris Peters Co.
