Rather than a view of streets or monuments, this map charts where the city's police and fire stations stood, turning public safety infrastructure into a visual record. Part of a series of "Statistical Maps" of Washington, it was made to help officials and residents see how civic services were distributed across the capital. Such maps were a popular tool in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when cities began using graphic data to plan services and justify budgets. Look closely at how the station locations cluster and spread across the grid of the city.
