Attachment_A5_-_Transfere_of_Jurisdiction.pdf

This is a Land Record document from the National Park Service National Capital Parks dated December 18, 1973, documenting the transfer of jurisdiction for multiple parcels in the District of Columbia. The document records disposals of seven reservation numbers (136, 137, 138, 1438, 612, 405, and 3436) across various locations in Washington, DC. Five parcels totaling approximately 3,819 square feet were transferred for highway purposes, including properties on Massachusetts Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue at various intersections in the northwest quadrant. Three parcels were transferred for recreation and related purposes, including Fort Chaplin Park (120,991 square feet), part of DuPont Playground (1,596,000 square feet), and a parcel associated with the B-W Parkway through Anacostia Park.

The transfers were authorized by letters of transfer of jurisdiction dated August 2, 1971, and December 14, 1972, from the Office of the Surveyor in the District of Columbia. Plat assignments and recorded map file numbers document the legal transfer, with references to Plat S.O. 71-186 and NCP 7-434. The assessed values of the transferred parcels are documented, with the most significant valuation appearing for the B-W Parkway through Anacostia Park parcel. This historical record establishes the transfer of federal park land to District jurisdiction for public purposes including transportation infrastructure and recreational facilities.
