The given maps illustrate the transformation of a village in the UK in the period of 220 years (1780, 1860, and 2000).
Overall, as can be seen from the maps, the village underwent significant changes, mostly for public services, accomodation and transportation purposes.
At the beginning of the mentioned period, there was a river in the far left-handed, farms in the middle, homes in the upper right, and a forest in the lower right of the map, respectively. In 1860, while the number of homes increased by double, the figure for farms and trees reduced by half compared to 1780. Furthermore, a bridge was built across the river and a road was constructed in the upper middle of the village, connecting the homes with the river. Interestingly, due to the construction of the road, the farms were relocated to the lower part of the new road.
In the final year of the period, there was a wetland for birds constructed to the far southwest of the river and a line of shops were built to the right of the river, between the bridge and the wetland. In addition, the village witnessed the disappear of the farm and forest, making way for new schools and sports fields in the far southeast corner of the village. There were a considerable growth in the number of homes (200 to 500) and a new road connecting the homes with the currently occurred public services. Finally, the river has remained unchanged throughout the given period.
