Red commercial districts, brick-red public offices, blue institutions and yellow housing press around the olive-green National Mall, while pink hatching marks industrial land along the rivers and railways. Drawn for A Policies Plan for the Year 2000, it records the city as it stood in 1960, before Metro and the freeway battles of the following decade changed downtown, and it pairs naturally with the planners' Land Use 2000 map of the same area.
