A new map for the Washington Metro

Five post-midnight hours well spent, I hope. If you live in the D.C. area, feel free to print this map out and give it a spin!

*Eastern Core Reference Map Recommended)

This map of a chunk of DC not only gives the user a coordinate grid and street-level detail, but includes places of interest such as restaurants, shopping areas, Churches, memorials, museums, etc. If you live in the Washington area, try printing it out and walking around with it. It also helps if you have a [...]

Washington’s Granite District

Somewhere in between K street and Dupont Circle, a lobbyist is counting his twenties. Welcome to the Granite District of D.C., where stately gray towers rub elbows with “chic” cafes and the occasional bookstore. People seem to come here for the money more than they do for the sights, but don’t let that deter you.

Washington, DC–Western Core

This is not a fictional city, but rather Washington, DC–a shining example of politics and gentrification alike. This (realistic) map depicts the area right above the Mall and just east of the White House. Great place to visit!
P.S: If you want a way to waste a rainy afternoon, drawing a map with geographic coordinates as [...]

Potomac Northwest–Washington, DC

This is yet another map in my series of Washington, DC maps. It depicts the Southwestern portion of NW, encompassing the Eclipse, Kennedy Center and (of course) the White House. If you’re in the area, print it out, wander around and tell me how it works!

The Epicenter–Washington, DC

Here lies the heart of the DC that tourists (and bureaucrats) know and love. From the National History museum to the Federal Aviation Administration, there’s a building here for everyone. (In case you were wondering, these maps and others like it are part of my Washington, DC mapping project in which I grid, chart out [...]

Pre-Rennovation Northwest Albeit

This is a map of Northwest Albeit before the “Rennovation.” It was, and remains the smallest of the four Albeit quadrants.
If you have no idea what I mean by Albeit, be sure to check the Albeit section of Schreiben Depot. Updates may be slow, as there’s a lot to do at the moment, but I [...]

Pre-Rennovation Southwest Albeit

This is a shot of Southwestern Albeit before the Rennovation. I suggest zooming in to take a look at the detail. (Don’t know a thing about Albeit? Check out the Albeit section of Schreiben Depot- http://schreibendepot.blogspot.com/search/label/Albeit .)
