Our Washington's World Interactive Map will allow you to explore the many places that George Washington visited during his lifetime and places that commemorate the man today.
With your mouse, or fingers on your tablet, you can grab and drag the map to the desired location. You can also use the zoom buttons in the top right to zoom in our out of the map display. Clicking on location clusters should also zoom you further into the map. On most tablets you should also be able to employ the pinch- zoom technique.
You can access historical details about many of the points on the map by just clicking on the individual map point. A panel on the right side of the screen should display with each click.

The Washington's World Interactive Map was produced by George Washington's Mount Vernon New Media and GIS teams, Fastspot LLC, and the GIS Department of Washington College. In particular, we would like to thank Stewart Bruce of Washington College, the Fastspot design and development team, including Curt Kotula and Ben Plum. The base data set was sourced from the The George Washington Atlas, edited by Martin Lawrence (1932) and augmented by scholars and George Washington experts. Our hope is to continue to expand, refine, and improve the geographic and historical data found in this map display. The map is built upon the ArcGIS system, a platform from ESRI.
