The maps illustrate the developments in the seaside resort of Templeton from 1990 to 2005, reflecting changes in infrastructure and the surrounding environment.
In 1990, Templeton was characterized by scattered houses, abundant trees, and open spaces. The key features included a railway station, a hospital, and school. There was also a house located near the lake, surrounded by green areas, and individual houses were mainly located in the south part.
By 2005, many changes had occurred. A new airport appeared northwest of the school, indicating improved transportation infrastructure . A large factory was constructed near the railway station, replacing the houses and trees that had been there previously. A ferry terminal was built to the southeast of the town, accompanied by a new railway line running east to west along the beach.
The residential area expanded with the development of more apartment flats along this new railway line, replacing some of the previous houses and cut down trees. Next to these flats, a big supermarket was constructed to the north, separated by a new road. Furthermore, four new houses were built between the two original main roads.
In summary, the changes from 1990 to 2005 in Templeton underline a shift towards urbanization and development with increased commercial facilities while potentially sacrificing green spaces.
