From Wikipedia: "The National Mall (officially: The National Mall & Memorial Parks) is an open-area national park in downtown Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States. However, the term commonly includes the areas that are officially part of West Potomac Park and Constitution Gardens to the west, and often is taken to refer to the entire area between the Lincoln Memorial and the Capitol, with the Washington Monument providing a division slightly west of the center."

Detailed information about the 1901 Plan for Washington D.C. is available on the internet (visit link).

The posted coordinates are for the Smithsonian Metro Stop. This subway stop is located within the National Mall.
