This topographic map, published in 1945 by the Department of Interior’s Geological Survey, shows the western quadrant of the city of Washington, D.C. The two long buildings near the Potomac River and adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial were built in 1918 near the end of World War I and were occupied by Navy and other armed forces personnel until President Richard M. Nixon ordered them removed in 1970.

The National Archives

DocsTeach is a product of the National Archives education division. Our mission is to engage, educate, and inspire all learners to discover and explore the records of the American people preserved by the National Archives.

The National Archives and Records Administration is the nation's record keeper. We save documents and other materials created in the course of business conducted by the U.S. Federal government that are judged to have continuing value. We hold in trust for the public the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights — but also the records of ordinary citizens — at our locations around the country.
