Unlike the monument-filled views that usually represent the national capital, this map charts the assessed value of real estate across the city. Its shaded districts let viewers compare neighborhoods at a glance, a method that spread through American cities in the later 1800s as officials and reformers turned to graphic statistics for taxation and planning. Washington's land values were shaped by federal decisions, the growth of its street network and the city's uneven development, so the map doubles as a record of how the capital's wealth was distributed block by block.
