MapArt Washington DC: detailed city plan inside the Beltway
This detailed street map by MapArt, printed on two sides, is easier to read than your typical comprehensive city map. On MapArt street maps, the streets are drawn not merely as thin lines, but with substance: parallel lines accented by color tints which make them easier to see. And although the names of streets on large city maps must be in small type, MapArt's are not quite so tiny as most others I've seen. (See sample at right.)On one side is the main map, which shows the central and western parts of the "Capitol City," and includes, as the title says, all other streets within the "Beltway" (Interstate 495), and slightly beyond. This side also includes an inset showing a detailed enlargement of central DC, including the National Mall, with its numerous museums and other public buildings of particular interest to the visitor. Another inset shows the main highways of the entire region at small scale.
On the reverse is the eastern third of the city and adjacent suburbs, also within the Beltway. The remainder of this side is devoted to the comprehensive index which enables you to find any particular street among the thousands shown.
Scale, 1:31,250 (1 inch = about 1/2 mile). Size: about 27 x 39½ inches. Folded. Paper.

National Geographic Washington, DC DestinationMap
Waterproof, durable map printed on two sides focuses on the most popular tourist sites of central Washington and neighboring Arlington. On one side is the main map covering the National Mall and extending northeast to Georgetown, northwest to Union Station, and south to the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. Landmark buildings and monuments (such as the Capitol, the White House, and the museums of the Smithsonian) are shown in isometric detail, giving the illusion of three-dimensions. It shows enough places to keep an intrepid visitor busy for weeks. Details include information centers, Metro stations, Tourmobile routes and stops, parking lots, post offices, police stations, hospitals, points of interest, monuments (including individual statues), theaters, hotels, churches, synagogues, notable buildings, parks, pedestrian areas, and arrows showing the direction of one-way streets. See sample above right. This map does not show the entire city, however.On the reverse are several other maps including a regional map showing the main roads of the entire DC area, a schematic map showing the Metro rapid transit system, detail maps of both Washington Dulles International and Ronald Reagan Washington National airports, and a street map of Old Town Alexandria, Virginia. The space in between is packed with information on what to see and how to see it. A street index is also supplied.
Scale of main map, 1:11,300 (1 inch = about 0.18 mile). Size: about 25 x 18 inches. Folded. Plastic.

American Map Washington D.C. City Map
This is a great map for the tourist, since it shows the areas of greatest interest in larger print and at an easier-to-read scale than the average comprehensive city map. Besides the National Mall, coverage stretches from Arlington Cemetary, north to Georgetown University and the US Naval Observatory, east to the National Zoo and Howard University, and south to the US Capitol. Major public buildings are shown in a sort of perspective view, making them easier to identify when you are actually there. (See sample at right.) Also shows the Metro lines and stations. The index included not only helps you find the streets, but also 190 points of interest, which are not only museums, churches, and memorials, but individual statues!The reverse side is a map of the entire metropolitan area, from Manassas and Leesburg, Virginia to Baltimore and Annapolis, Maryland, showing the major roads. This map is separately indexed, and also has descriptions of numerous points of interest keyed to the map. A smaller map shows the routes and stops of the entire Metro Rail System.
