How can we be so confident? Well, it all began in 1956, when Richard Robertson earned his living photographing houses for sale in Northern Virginia, for which he mapped out locations the night before. It wasn't long before others learned of Robertson's handiwork. Through dedication and vision, Robertson's business grew to produce the most well-known map and atlas brand in the entire region. ADC blazed trails in the 1980s as a pioneer of computer-assisted map-making, and greatly expanded and enhanced its already impressive title list, entering new markets and maintaining its course as a formidable force in the mapping industry.

From its inception 50 years ago, ADC has published maps of the highest quality. Many of our titles have hit the bestseller lists. Popular titles include Washington, DC Street Map Book, Northern Virginia Street Map Book and Montgomery County, Maryland Street Map Book.

Today ADC is part of the Langenscheidt Publishing Group, allowing ADC to expand its title list even further through the resources of Langenscheidt, the largest map, guidebook and language publisher in the world. LPG's other premier brands include American Map Corporation, Berlitz Publishing, Insight Guides, Hagstrom Map Company and more, each a formidable market leader in their respective regions.
