The maps illustrate the layout of a Willington town in 1780 and after its redesigns in 1860 and 2000. Overall, the town underwent significant changes after being redesigned, shifting from a natural rural landscape to a developed area with diverse facilities. Key features such as the farm and the wood forest were lost, while new facilities were introduced like a school, bridge, shops, and roads.
In 1780, a river flowed from the top right corner to the bottom, occupying nearly half of the left side of the map. Adjacent to the river was a farmland area, which spanned the entire central region. Additionally, there were two small villages next to the farmland, including 100 homes for locals. Furthermore, a dense forest of wood dominated the eastern part of the town, stretching along the right and bottom sides.
By 1780, the river remained intact, while there was a bridge that crossed over it. To the north of the town, there was a road connecting the east riverbank with villages. Moreover, the farm region was narrowed into two main farms, which were still situated at the center. However, the villages next to the farms were expanded into 200 homes, double the figure in 1780. Likewise, part of the forest was also knocked down, making way for the development in the future. In 2000, the town featured recreation facilities. Downstream of the river, there was a wetland for birds. Another change was the presence of a series of shops on the riverbank, at the base of the bridge. In addition, farms and woods were removed completely, resulting in the construction of schools and sports fields. On the eastern section, the residential areas evolve into 500 houses connecting to the educational region by a new road.
