This map designates space for rural development (lower left corner) which at one time we thought may have been where planners hoped to establish the Rossville Rural Development, an area to be occupied and farmed by Black families. Additional research has indicated, however, that this area was designated for white families. The area for Black families was farther away to the north, along the edge of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. However, the small farms were never built, nor were the farms on this map for white families. Had they been established, both farms would have supplied the residents with locally grown food, which was in keeping with the original idea of a garden city.
