The District Elements of the Comprehensive Plan for the District of Columbia includes two essential maps. Each of these is available here as a single oversized map and also as a series of 11 smaller maps that combine to cover the District.

• Future Land Use Map

This map is part of the amended Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in April 2011. It provides a generalized view of how land in the District is intended to be used. It does not necessarily show land use as it exists today, and it does not show zoning information. A map of existing land use in the District can be viewed at Existing Land Use Map. Zoning maps are made available by the Office of Zoning at www.dcoz.dc.gov.

An image of the entire oversized map is linked below in Adobe PDF format.

Future Land Use Map - Full Size

Click on the index map above to view 11” x 17” sections of the original oversized map. Each is presented as a separate document in Adobe PDF format. To print this information on smaller paper, use the Adobe Acrobat Reader to shrink the page to fit, or use its graphics select tool to choose a portion of the page to print. Many printers also allow users to tile 11 x 17 maps onto pairs of 8.5 x 11 pages. Colors on this map indicate types of land use (residential, commercial, public, etc.) and the intensity of use (high density, medium density, low density, etc.) that typically occur within each area.

• Generalized Policy Map

This map is part of the amended Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in April 2011. It categorizes how different parts of the District may change between 2005 and 2025. It highlights areas where more detailed policies are necessary, both within the Comprehensive Plan and in follow-up plans, to manage this change.
