NCR Map
  • The National Capital Region was created pursuant
    to the National Capital Planning Act of 1952
    (Title 40, U.S.C., Sec. 71). The Act defined the

    Prince Georges Counties of Maryland Arlington,
    Fairfax, Loudon, and Prince William Counties of
    Virginia and all cities now or here after
    existing in Maryland or Virginia within the
    geographic area bounded by the outer boundaries
