Just to be clear, the things you're talking about are stream culverts and drainage conduits and storm sewers and things like that that you'll find in any built-up place, often full of water and not necessarily big enough for anyone to move around in. I think sometimes the readers of these threads don't realize that and think you're talking about big, dry, lighted tunnels that are somehow unique to DC.

Here's a National Geographic segment where they show some of the tunnels being filled in Rock Creek Park. The streams seem to be more of a trickle since the installation of the tunnels, and the ones they showed could certainly fit human beings. To be clear, I'm pretty skeptical of the idea that these tunnels are being used for trafficking. That's why I wanted to either make connections or put the tunnel theory to bed. I'm still unsure whether this information is at all useful.

Maybe there are drainage tunnels used as a convenient way of disposing certain types of waste to not be found. JA posted a picture of the end of a small possibly drainage tunnel in a forest, maybe Rock Creek Park.

There's a fucking sub way system. Of course there are tunnels. I'm so confused by peoples confusion about this... No one every links to any of the maps that show the subway lines. Am I not understanding something here... I understand that they are referring to abandon tunnels... But There's active tunnels... So of course there are parts of the tunnel not that can not be accessed publicly.
Can Some please explain to my retarded self if everyone is aware of the active tunnels? Because those all line up under pinpong as well as other key locations.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=12/38.9027/-77.0248&layers=T Boom. Tunnels. done. The mystery question has been answered. It should also be worth noting,The escalators needed to get down to the subway, are the longest, and steepest escalators I've ever been on. It's somewhat intimidating the first few times.... But my point is, There's a lot of space between the roads, and tunnels below... It's not like it's right below the street.
And we obviously all know that there are tunnels from The capital building, To the white house, and all around to and fro... Right? Like, it's not a theory. Literally there, and it's acknowledged. In fact, I've been the ones In the capital building... I think, I'd have to clarify that with my mom, because I was young at the time, and didn't give a shit about any of the cool shit I was fortunate enough to experience.

On Map Page 3 there is Kolorama Heights where the Prez will live two doors from T Podesta. Right behind there is property labeled Mary Ord Preston who was a daughter of a General. What I have figured out is that there is Rock Creek Cemetery. I am trying to find pictures of the inside and some history but am not too good at that. I will continue but maybe someone can pick this up as well. I am thinking a cemetery would tie in perfectly to their trafficking. A pretty deserted area at night and right next to rock creek where I believe they say tunnels are underneath.

This look like it took a lot of work. Thank you for your dedication.
Friendly editing suggestion - On your map, there is this text attached "Here is a map I have created showing where the underground tunnels in D.C. currently lead today. The google map indicators show Comet Ping Pong, the "Pegasus Museum" and 4082 Chesapeake st."
The first sentence does not read well. "I have created this map that shows where the underground tunnels in DC lead to and join with one another, as of today (give date)."
When I read it the first time, and I read a lot and often and well, even to me it sounded awkward and I read "lead" as the metal element. Just want your message to be crystal clear.
I would also spell out the red lines as in "The red lines indicate the tunnels, the white lines are surface streets."

Excellent visualization.
ARC GIS would be able to line up this stuff in a very accurate manner.

has anyone done this with the original DC subway system?
