  • Washington, D.C., USA, is located at [38_53_42_N_77_02_11_W_region:US-DC_type:city 38°53′42″N, 77°02′11″W] (the coordinates of the Zero Milestone, on the Ellipse), or for simplicity, at [38_54_N_77_02_W_region:US-DC_type:city 38°54′N, 77°02′W] or [38.89_N_77.03_W_region:US-DC_type:city 38.89° N 77.03° W] . According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 177.0 km² (68.3 mi²). 159.0 km² (61.4 mi²) of it is land and 18.0 km² (6.9 mi²) of it is water. The total area is 10.16% water. Washington is surrounded by the states of Virginia (on its southwest side) and Maryland (on its southeast, northeast, and northwest sides); it interrupts those states' common border, which is the south shore of the Potomac River both upstream and downstream from the District. The portion of the Potomac River that passes Washington is virtually entirely within the District's border, as the District extends to the south bank. The city contains the historic federal city, the territory of which was formerly part of those two adjacent states before they respectively ceded it for the national capital. The land ceded from Virginia was returned by Congress in 1847, so what remains of the modern District was all once part of Maryland.
