The two maps delineate the enhancements that a town called Dalton has undergone since 1815 to 2015.
Overall, its initial farming purpose had been redeveloped to focus on modernized amenities to cater for residential needs by clearing off the forest and local farms.
In 1815, the western and northwestern areas were packed with plants, contributing to the Dalton forest adjacent to the stream from River Dal. Passing the stream, cattles were raised around the Hall Farm, with inhabitants and horses living nearby on the east. Apart from houses, there was also a building called Dalton Hall on the very eastern part. Additionally, there was a barrier separating people from the wild woods and livestock farms.
Two centuries later, the forests were replaced by residences and an industrial zone. Generally, green spaces were reduced and each part of Dalton was more logically organized. To the north, a hospital was built and people could now cross the stream by a newly constructed bridge. On the other side, more houses were added, surrounding a local school in the center, and a hotel on the most eastern part. Furthermore, there was an airport placed near River Dal, making it more accessible to the town.
