Dc Boundary Stone overview
Dc Boundary Stone
One of the main reasons to visit the DC Boundary Stone is to see a piece of history come to life. The stone is one of 40 markers that were placed in 1791 and 1792 to indicate the 10-mile square boundary of the District. The stone is made of sandstone and is inscribed with the letters "DC" on one side and "MD" on the other. Visitors can see this unique piece of history up close and personal.
In addition to the stone itself, visitors can also take in the natural beauty of the surrounding area. The DC Boundary Stone is located in a park-like setting, surrounded by trees and greenery. Visitors can take a stroll and enjoy the scenery while also learning about the history of the area.
Another unique aspect of the DC Boundary Stone is that it is still an active marker. The stone is used by surveyors to measure the land and make sure that the boundaries are accurate. Visitors can watch as surveyors use the stone to help them with their work.
Overall, the DC Boundary Stone is a great place to visit for anyone interested in history or just looking for a unique outdoor experience. Visitors can see a piece of history up close, enjoy the natural scenery, and even witness the stone being used in present-day activities.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
