Here the link to my customized Google map with the monuments that i wanted to point to.

Creating this map was fairly easy. At first, i was waiting for almost half an hour for google to import all the data from the spreadsheet that i created, to find out later that there was a pop-up blocker preventing it from doing so. After i allowed pop-ups, the whole thing was a piece of cake.

I really enjoyed the idea of marking the map to my specific needs. I was able to add description and pictures and change the marker icons to give each specific location a unique look.

I think creating a map, with your own little description can help in showing how the important monuments kind of encircle the city of Washington D.C within their boundaries. it makes it easier to visualize how much apart are they placed and what do they overlook.Creating this map was very helpful and i will certainly use it as a visual aid to compliment my research.
