Excellent map. FYI, the National Hotel where Booth stayed ( A on 1st map) lis now The Newseum ( DC' s interactive museum of media and journalism). Booth used to live in one of the back rooms and used to yell out the window to have the stable across the street have his horse ready.

And Mary Surratt' s house is now a Wok 'n Roll Chinese restaurant on the bottom level. It felt a bit weird eating in what was her kitchen area. The top floors are closed up. Not sure who owns it but possibly their not sure about opening the "nest that hatched the egg" to the public.
