Washington, D.C., is administratively divided into four geographical quadrants of unequal size, each delineated by their ordinal directions from the medallion located in the Crypt under the Rotunda of the Capitol. Street and number addressing, centered on the Capitol, radiates out into each of the quadrants, producing a number of intersections of identically named cross-streets in each quadrant. Originally, the District of Columbia was a near-perfect square. However, even then the Capitol was never located at the geographic center of the territory (the geographic center was located near the present-day intersection of 17th Street, NW and Constitution Ave.). As a result, the quadrants are of greatly varying size. Northwest is quite large, encompassing over a third of the city's geographical

Penamaan dan penomoran jalan, yang terpusat di Capitol, menyebar ke masing-masing kuadran dan menghasilkan sejumlah persimpangan jalan dengan nama yang sama di setiap kuadran. Awalnya, , bahkan Capitol tidak pernah menjadi pusat geografis teritori ibu kota. Akibatnya, kuadran-kuadran kota memiliki ukuran yang berbeda. Northwest memang agak besar, mencakup lebih dari sepertiga luas kota, sementara Southwest lebih kecil daripada sebuah permukiman dan pangkalan militer. (in) Washington, D.C. är geografiskt uppdelat i fyra kvadranter: nordost (Northeast: NE), sydost (Southeast: SE), sydväst (Southwest: SW) och nordväst (Northwest: NW). Systemet har funnits sedan 1791 när Pierre Charles L'Enfant ritade staden. Mittpunkten är emellertid inte i distriktets geografiska centrum, utan i Kapitoliums rotunda. Systemet används för distriktets gatuadresser samt för dess samhällsplanering. I den nordvästra kvadranten, där bland annat Vita huset är belägen, finns 42 % av ytan och över hälften av befolkningen.
