The maps illustrate how an American town transformed over a period of 62 years, from 1948 to 2010. Overall, the town underwent a complete makeover, with numerous facilities repurposed or demolished. However, some facilities remained unchanged.
In 1948, the town featured only a few facilities. At the bottom of the map, there was a local supermarket and a church, separated by a canal. In the northeast corner, a petrol station, factories, and a garden were situated. A road alongside the canal provided easy access to the residential houses. In the center of the map, these residential houses were surrounded by trees.
By 2010, there were significant changes to the layout of the town. The most notable transformation occurred in the northeast, where factories were demolished to make way for an airport and commercial buildings. The supermarket was relocated in place of the garden. Additionally, commercial buildings were constructed where residential houses and the local supermarket once stood. Although the residential houses in the southeast remained intact, a sports stadium was built in the southeast section of the map.
