There are also industrial uses lining the area's southwest edges. The WMATA Metro Orange Line, Baltimore-Washington Parkway, and U.S. 50 provide direct access to the District of Columbia. The area is bounded roughly by the Town of Bladensburg to the north, District of Columbia to the south, U.S. 50 to the east, and the Anacostia River to the west.
