The chart illustrates the urbanization of a town named Dalton between the years 1815 and 2015.
Overall, Dalton underwent significant developments by 2015 compared to its state in 1815. Numerous buildings were constructed, and the forested areas diminished between 1815 and 2015.
On the west side of town, there was a large forest in 1815, which transformed into a factory zone by 2015. Additionally, a hospital was built between the industrial area and the river to the northwest. To the southwest, a new bridge was constructed in 2015, whereas that area was completely undeveloped in 1815.
On the east side, Hall Farm was present in 1815, but it was replaced by a school in 2015, which is located in the center of a residential neighborhood. A large hotel was situated at the eastern end of the map in 2015, occupying the former site of Dalton Hall.
Notably, along the south side near the river, there was nothing in 1815; however, an airport was established in that area by 2015.
