Justice Department Report on Anacostia Front Title
The Department of Justice reports that title to Anacostia shore and flats rests with the United States for public use. It cites cession by Maryland in 1788 and Congressional acts, with state legislation later confirming federal ownership for public purposes. The memo notes potential private claims to riverfront properties atop the eastern branch and questions of riparian rights along the Anacostia River.
