The Land that Time Forgot


In the words of my friend Dan, "This map is funny, because it's serious. It's like, you just don't exist. "

Apparently Northeast, Southeast and Southwest are just empty voids. It's bad enough that most DC maps found around town just cut out all the areas where black people live, but these people actually go to the trouble of outlining the district but then pretend that no one lives beyond Capitol Hill. I especially like that Eckington is outlined, like some brave explorer once surveyed the area's border while on Safari but then got scared away before making landfall.
