Dorchester Heights, in South Boston, is where American forces under Henry Knox's artillery, brought from Fort Ticonderoga, took up positions in March 1776 and forced the British to abandon Boston. This site plan, drawn for the monument grounds in Thomas Park, shows how the hilltop is laid out today, with the memorial and its surrounding paths and green space arranged around the original fortification site. The plan is worth studying for the way it ties a modern park to the 1776 earthworks, which were built in a single night and changed the course of the siege.
