A Mount Rainier artist who specializes in hand-drawn maps of D.C. neighborhoods has released a new map of Riverdale Park.
Torie Partridge, owner of Terratorie, has already released maps of Brentwood and North Brentwood, College Park, Hyattsville and Mount Rainier and Woodridge as well as Prince George’s County.
She began the Neighborhood Maps Project in 2012, allowing visitors to her website to vote on which one to do next as she made her way through the greater D.C. area. She also does other major U.S. cities, which make great gifts.
The 18-by-24-inch map is available as a print or matted and framed or as 5-by-7-inch greeting cards. If you want to see another neighborhood added to the collection, you can make a request on the Terratorie website.
You can buy the maps on Partridge’s website or at her shop in Brookland’s Arts Walk at 716 Monroe St. NE, Studio 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

These maps are cute but use a generic rectangle for all the Maryland cities/towns rather than showing the City/Town’s unique shape, and often cut off large parts of the city such as the northern parts of Hyattsville and Takoma Park. Not accurate or inclusive. Also has a mis-named road in Hyattsville.
