As population increased, the borders of Boston expanded to include more area. This is indicated by the presence of new streets and bridges that were added since 1814, reflecting the city's growth and development over time.

Map of Boston MA. in 1814. The city is shown with it's original border in 1814, and the city is densely clustered near the shore. A note on the map states that fainter lines show the streets as of 1880. These lines can be seen extending from the original map image to the borders of the map. New streets and bridges appear to have been built since 1814.
