District of Columbia

For the state of Pacific Northwest state, see Washington.

The 76th meridian west (of Greenwich / UTC, Washington had several prime meridians to itself in the early years of independence) crosses directly through the District of Columbia, so the city has two graticules, located at latitude 38, longitudes -77 and -76.

Map
