The map
Central 14th Street and Spring Road is a stretch of northwest Washington, D.C., centred on 14th Street NW where Spring Road crosses it, between Columbia Heights to the south and Petworth to the east. This part of the city filled in as the street grid pushed north in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and it was built up largely with long rows of brick rowhouses.
The map here is a study in repetition. Long rectangular blocks line up along the numbered north–south streets and the alphabetically named cross streets. Each block is lined with narrow rowhouse lots and divided by service alleys. 14th Street, once a streetcar route, runs straight through the middle, while 16th Street and the green mass of Rock Creek Park lie just to the west.
The neighbourhood has changed a great deal in recent decades, but its underlying pattern of rowhouses, front porches and small commercial stretches remains. A Central 14th Street / Spring Road map poster shows it at a close, walkable scale, where every block, alley and small park can be seen.
The long, straight line of 14th Street NW runs through the centre of the map. It is the neighbourhood's main commercial street and a former streetcar route.
Spring Road crosses the grid at its own slant. It is one of the few lines that breaks the rectangular rhythm of the surrounding blocks.
Long blocks divided by rear alleys create a dense, even texture of narrow lots, the classic fabric of early twentieth-century Washington.
