The maps illustrate the difference in Youngsville between 1980 and 2005. Overall, it is considerable to reveal that the village area has been developed into progressive urban city.
A closer inspection of the maps shows that in the year 1980 significant parts of town were filled with greenfield lands and private houses, whereas over a 25 year period they were replaced by large buildings. Notably, all trees in the south of the River Alanah were chopped down and houses along the railway line were crushed. These changes led to construction of skyscrapers and factories. In addition, a warehouse was built around the airport.
Looking at the more details, near to the hospital, which is located in the north of the river, the wood was cleared and turned into a park, golf course and car parking. On the former site of the northeast from the river houses was built a large stadium and it is remarkable that next to it was an extension of the railway line running directly to the north. Moreover, the Marina was also constructed along with the railway station.
