The maps illustrate the changes to the town of Lynnfield over 71 years, from 1936 to 2007.
Overall, it can be seen that the town of Lynnfield underwent modernization and commercialization during those 71 years, as evidenced by the appearance of supermarkets, shopping centers, etc.
In 1936, there were several facilities in the town center, but in 2007, the sweet shop and the butcher shop merged into a supermarket. The flower shop was replaced with a travel agent, a shopping center was built in the middle, and the post office, bank, and library remained unchanged.
In 1936, on the outside of the roundabout , there were three trees in the northwest, with a river to the right. On the opposite side of the river was a cycle path, and in the southeast were the government offices and farmland. In 2007, only one tree remained in the northwest; the river nearby had been replaced by a residential area, and the cycle path to the southwest had been replaced by a road. Finally, the government office and farmland became a museum and a golf course, respectively.
