Description

View of the Navy Yard and its vicinity, looking eastward from over the South Capitol Street area, circa 1960. The Yard's western edge, at First Street SE, is near the lower edge of the photo; its northern boundary, at M Street SE, is marked by the dark-colored street running nearly vertically in the left center. The Anacostia River runs diagonally from lower left to upper right center, crossed by the Eleventh Street Bridge (in center) and the Sousa Bridge (Pennsylvania Avenue) near the top.
