Product Description
TerraAtlas™ is a collection of atlases of high quality aerial photography that features selected venues from the American landscape. The first title in this series is TerraAtlas: Central Washington, DC, an aerial photographic atlas of the administrative, historical, intellectual, and emotional heart of our nation's capital and the adjoining part of Arlington County, Virginia. Among the architectural landmarks and other special places featured in this atlas are the major buildings of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the federal government; the National Mall and the museums of the Smithsonian Institution; Washington's administrative, financial, and commercial districts; Rock Creek Park and the National Zoo; the Potomac and Anacostia rivers and their bordering waterfronts; Arlington National Cemetery; most embassies of other nations; historic Georgetown; and numerous residential neighborhoods scattered throughout the covered area. Vividly depicted in this atlas are the patterns of content, function, color, and texture that characterize the dynamic and varied urban landscape of Washington and Arlington.

5.0 out of 5 stars An expansive aerial photographic mapping of the central Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Virginia areas, July 10, 2006
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Deftly compiled by Naphtali David Rishe, Terra Atlas: Central Washington, D.C. is an expansive aerial photographic mapping of the central Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Virginia areas. Comprising a concise, visually informative, superbly executive photographic atlas complete with map-style scale measurements indicators, a street index, points of interest index that serves as an easily accessible landmark locater, Terra Atlas offers readers a "user-friendly" visual guide from an overhead perspective. Terra Atlas: Central Washington D.C. is very highly recommended as the ideal atlas for the Washington, D.C. and Arlington, Virginia areas -- and would serve as an excellent template for overhead photographic mapping reference books for other major
American cityscapes as well.
