This sheet charts the locations of Washington's public schools, turning a civic inventory into a visual record of how education was spread across the city. Numbered statistical maps like this one were a common planning and reporting tool in the late nineteenth century. Washington's public schools were segregated by race for most of that period, with separate systems for white and Black children, so the placement of each school often reflects that divide. The map is a useful starting point for asking who had access to schooling in the capital.
