Description:
The nation's capital lies astride the Potomac River (38.5N, 77.5W) at the 
head of the Potomac Estuary.  Baltimore, MD, also in the scene, is
connected  to Washington by the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.  The suburbs
of both  cities tend to cluster around the Washington and Baltimore
Beltways.  Most of  the countryside in the eastern two-thirds of this scene
is either heavily  forested or is in farming, dairy operations or poultry
production.
