Transportation Hubs city maps

These are the sheets where movement structures the city. Ferry wakes, rail yards, canals, depots, and terminals matter because the place owed its weight to connection.

Baltimore 1912, Detroit 1889, and Boston 1905 do not share one shoreline or one state line, yet the same structural problem keeps returning in the sheet. Maps organized around canal locks, ferry crossings, terminals, rail yards, and the infrastructure that kept people and freight moving.

Across 6 states, 3 eras, and 6 named maker groups, this page shows how one urban form can persist even when the dates, materials, and local economies change.
