In unraveling the many complex layers that comprise the \"real\" Boston, some explorations are expected: sports championships, universities, and pothole complaints. Others, such as the former cow paths that predated downtown streets, are decidedly more hidden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDig into the city's history with a guided tour through Revolutionary War sites, landmarks of nineteenth-century Black Boston, and notable \"first in the nation\" events (like the first recorded UFO sighting). Uncover the structural forces that shaped the social and lived experience of Boston, with maps showing the impact of redlining, urban renewal practices, and the busing crisis of the 1970s. Discover how the city's boundaries evolved through annexation and landfill and how they'll continue to change due to coastal flooding risks. Explore some of Boston's most unique quirks through surprising revelations about the density of Dunkin' locations, the distinctive architecture of three-deckers, and the spread of the infamous Great Molasses Flood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntertaining and informative in equal parts, \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBoston in 50 Maps\u003c\/em\u003e brings The Hub's history, urban plans, and lore to life.
