Sample Answer
The given maps showcase how American towns have transformed, by showing how it appeared in two varying years – 1948 and 2010. A quick glance tells that newer buildings have developed almost everywhere, except for the southeast residential area of the town. However, the overall area has neither contracted nor expanded.
To start with, it is visible that factories situated on the north-east corner were demolished to construct an airport and different commercial buildings. Similarly, the supermarket is built in the place of the lake, which was next to the factories. It should be noticed that four commercial buildings were constructed on the southwest side of the new supermarket. Back in 1948, a church was in the place of the stadium, which is visible in 2010 toward the south direction. On the other hand, a variety of features of the town didn’t change throughout the period. A canal, the natural elements and trees remain untouched. Also, even the road system did not change with 2 big and 2 small roads. Adding to it, in the north, the petrol station remained intact and so did the residential buildings toward the bottom right corner, unlike the ones on the other side of the canal. |
