Washington, D.C.
Map Overview
This map covers all of Washington, D.C., USA and its surrounding areas.It goes past the city's beltway, and covers much of Maryland andVirginia. It is very accurate and is also very close to exact scale.The bodies of water on this map include the Potomac River, AnacostiaRiver and Rock Creek. The elevation data is accurate as well. Forexample, the steep slope from the Potomac River to the Georgetown areaof Washinton appears accurately on this map. Although from the pictureof the map, this map looks more like a flat land vs. water rendition,it is certainly not. These elevations, as said before, are accurate andrealistic.

Author's Notes
Washington, D.C. maps are very hard to make due to odd things with sealevel and missing DEM data. Luckily, I was able to make this accuratemap of DC. It's the first DC map that I'm aware of that covers thedistrict and all of its suburbs past the beltway. Have fun with it!
