Title
English: AERIAL VIEW OF POTOMAC AND AREA TO BE FILLED WITH DREDGING OPERATION IN LOWER RIGHT CORNER, 1930
Description
English: Looking northwest along the Potomac River in the United States in 1930. Washington, D.C., is to the right, and unincorporated Arlington County, Virginia, is to the left. The point of land jutting into the river at the bottom of the image is Gravelly Point. In September 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt chose Gravelly Point as the location for a new airport, Washington National. Soil dredged from the bottom of the river would enlarge the Point so the airport could be built there. A dredging ship is visible in the water at the far right tip of land. The two dark spans crossing the river are Highway Bridge (today known as the 14th Street Bridge). To the center-left of the image, just where the bridge lands on the Virginia side, are the runways of Washington-Hoover Airport. The white structure crossing the river upstream is Arlington Memorial Bridge. The Lincoln Memorial is the small, square white object near where the bridge lands on the D.C. side of the river.
