Still unclear: why the only parkland shown is in Arlington and NW DC. Why aren't the Arboretum, Anacostia Park, and Fort Circle Parks included?

Because this isn't a map of parks. It's meant to provide navigation within the Metro system. The geographic features depicted (the Mall, Rock Creek Park, Arlington Cemetery, and the two rivers) are all significant barriers/landmarks that people commonly use to orient themselves.

Inclusion of the Fort Circle Parks wouldn't help someone navigate the Metro system, IMO. I'm not convinced that adding, say, Anacostia Park to the map would help orient users any more than the existing depiction of the Anacostia River already does.
