Shepherd Parkway is part of the Civil War Defenses of Washington. It includes two civil war sites: Fort Greble and Fort Carroll of which some remains still exist. The Parkway occupies the high ground that lies on the opposite side of the Anacostia Freeway (Interstate 295) from Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in the District of Columbia. Shepherd Parkway is bound by the St. Elizabeths Campus on the north end and the District of Columbia neighborhoods of Congress Heights and Bellevue. On the south end, a small section close to Oxon Run is separated by Bald Eagle Hill. == History == The National Capital Parks and Planning Commission began acquiring land in 1927 to create a parkway called "Fort Drive". The purpose was to connect a ring of parks, formed by the Civil War Defenses of Washington encircling the city. Shepherd Parkway was the first land acquired for this purpose. The parkway was never completed and the remained mostly not built, but the land remains as green-space in the district today.〔 T.C. Jeffers, "A Brief History of the Fort Drive — Evolution of its Concept and Function," March 17, 1947.〕 ===Early Shepherd Parkway===
