The map illustrates how a town in America developed between 1954 and 2014.
Over the period, the town went from having mainly residential and industrial areas to having mostly commercial units north-west of the canal and housing south-east of the canal. It also added some public amenities.
In the north-east of the town, all of the factories were flattened to make way for a new airport and some buildings dedicated to commerce. The park next to these new commercial outlets made way for a new supermarket. In the centre of town, some houses were demolished and commercial buildings were erected in their place, and this also occurred in the west, where a local supermarket was also knocked down in order to make way for yet more commercial buildings. The petrol station did not undergo any changes.
The area south-east of the canal remained relatively unchanged, where all of the residential areas remained the same, with the exception of the church being replaced by a sports arena.
