Description
An account of the resource
This detail of the bird's eye view of the city, "The national capital, Washington, D.C. Sketched from nature by Adolph Sachse, 1883-1884" shows the National Mall before the Army Corps of Engineers began to dredge the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/424">Potomac River</a> to fill in the tidal wetlands. The project was intended to enlarge the shipping channel and to help prevent flooding and sewage accumulation. The <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/326">Reclamation of Potomac Flats</a> began in 1882 and continued to 1890. Landfill extended the length and width of the Mall, forming East Potomac Park and extending the Mall beyond the site of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36">Washington Monument</a>. When the project ended, Washington, DC, had 638 acres of new land.

Detail, National Capital
Description
An account of the resource
This detail of Adolph Sachse's stylized bird's-eye view of Washington highlights the section of the National Mall west of the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/59">US Capitol</a> on present-day 6th Street. The National Mall was still parkland, a series of gardens, <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/372">experimental plots</a>, and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/261">natural landscapes</a>. Ten years earlier, the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/166">Baltimore and Potomac Railway lines</a> visible in this illustration were constructed through its center. Passengers boarded at the station where the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/427">National Gallery of Art</a> stands today, and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/346">freight cars loaded from sheds</a> among the trees of the Mall.
