Even though this is a 1999 CIA document, several of these buildings no longer existed at that time. Others may no longer in use by the CIA.
Except for CIA headquarters most buildings used by the agency are owned by the General Services Administration, and several of those below are shown on GSA lists of facilities (although some are dated for older buildings that no longer exist).

Cryptome welcomes maps and photos of the original CIA buildings near the
State Department and in West Potomac Park, or anywhere else around the globe.

Quarters Eye (a naval term) would be particularly interesting for its
use to plan many of the Agency's most notorious operations, including experiments
with mind-altering drugs. Information is also welcomed on the unknown buildings
adjacent to BUMED shown below.
The BUMED site was the original location of the Naval Observatory before it was moved northward where the Vice President lives. The US Navy long preceded satellites as the lead service for astronomical investigations, worldwide communications and electronic interception, and that its medical and surgical service has been a leader in medical research.
That many CIA offices are near the State Department is due to the parentage and cultivation of the Agency by the State Department as documented in Emergence of the Intelligence Establishment, Foreign Relations of the United States. Copies of original documents are searchable in the State Department's CIA Creation collection. The CIA has recently reclassified and withdrawn a number of documents in these collections from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) but they remain available from the State website.
As the State Office of the Historian notes at Emergence of the Intelligence Establishment:
"The State Department web site below is a permanent electronic archive of information released prior to January 20, 2001. Please see www.state.gov for material released since President George W. Bush took office on that date. This site is not updated so external links may no longer function."
