Washington drew this plan of his farm on Little Hunting Creek and the Potomac River around 1766, a few years after he took over the property from his half-brother Lawrence. Rendered in pen, ink and watercolor, it lays out the fields, roads and waterways of the working estate that would become Mount Vernon. Washington had trained as a surveyor in his youth, and that background is evident in the careful plotting of boundaries. The sheet is mounted on linen-covered cardboard, a common way to support delicate paper.
