How Washington D.C. looks as a map poster
The city is named for George Washington, a Founding Father and the first US president. The district name comes from Columbia, a female personification of the nation.
Diagonal avenues cross an orthogonal grid between federal grounds and residential blocks. The Potomac and its inlets interrupt that formal plan on the western side.
Area shown on your Washington D.C. poster
The core federal district, diagonal avenues, and Potomac edge fit within 3.5 kilometres. Monument and government grounds create large openings in the planned grid.
Put the formal avenues in navy over a fine gray grid, leaving federal grounds marble white. The Potomac can continue that open field along the west.
