| This map shows Columbia Point (1) as it was 150 years ago -- a marshy uninhabited peninsula in Dorchester. It was called the Calf Pasture because Dorchester residents pastured calves there in the 1600s and 1700s. This 1850 map also shows Savin Hill (2), Fox Point (3), and the Old Colony Railroad (4), which had opened in 1845 to connect Plymouth and Boston and is now the location of the M.B.T.A. Red Line tracks. | |
