Interesting post and something I've thought about when comparing my
childhood roaming all over with that of my niece who wouldn't really
leave the house alone. It'd be nice to see a population density map in
the areas over the same periods mentioned.

I love this map of how a family over time has changed in terms of
their children (at age 8) distance to roam.
Great Grandfather: 8 miles (to go fishing)
Grandfather: 1 mile (to the woods)
Mother: 1/2 a mile (to the local pool)
Son: 300 yards (end of the street)
