The given map demonstrates the alterations in Dalton town from 1815 to 2015.
Overall, the most significant mutation was in the right of the map, with additional facilities and innovative transport system, transforming the town from agricultural area into industrialized ones.
In 1815, Dalton town was a predominantly rural area surrounded by dense forests and farmland. The feature keys located on the eastern side of the map, including Dalton Hall, Hall Farm, ford crossing River Dal and Bridleway, while Dalton Forest was on the left of the map. However, there were no cutting-edge facilities and transport infrastructure at this time.
After two centuries, the town underwent dramatic modifications. The forest vanished and paved the way for residential housing and industrial zones. Modern facilities and transport means, such as hospital, school, hotel and airport, were introduced. In addition, a bridge was constructed over the river, replacing the ford and connecting two sides of River Dal.
