Here is my take on a potential history of the map of the Commonwealth from Fallout 4. Due to the lack of information on many early events, the secrecy of the Railroad, etc., I had to make some educated guesses. Otherwise, pretty much the whole map would be blank for a good chunk of the video due to having little to no confirmed locations for factions and groups that existed long before the Sole Survivor leaves Vault 111.
For example, the Battle of Charles River and Mass State are major events from the past but have scarce detail. I then became interested in the idea of first and second generation raiders. The first generation raiders weren't able to make much progress because of the rise in power of Mass State and the Minutemen. Seeing no other alternative, I decided that the Battle of Charles River was a case of the Commonwealth being able to wipe out threats thanks to the relative stability. Additionally, I didn't allow the second generation raiders or the Gunners to show up until the Minutemen began to decline, since that made the most sense to me.
Basically, any time there was scarce information, I would mold it into a storyline that despite being my own fiction, generally works within the established facts.
Lastly, I used the Minutemen as a gauge for how stable the Commonwealth was, the CPG representing the peak of stability. The stronger the Minutemen, the weaker the raiders, and vice versa.
