This is a fabulous bird's-eye ("Aero View") map that shows the city in amazing detail. Every building is individually drawn, and all roads are shown and named. The view is from the Capitol and the Library of Congress looking north into rural areas of Maryland. Many important buildings and monuments are named directly on the map, which is supplemented with over 70 "Buildings and Places of Interest" keyed below the map. Above the map is a second title: "Baltimore and Ohio, America's First Railroad, Washington's First Railroad." The map originally appeared in promotional booklet for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad; this example has been mounted on linen.
