ANSWER:
The maps
illustrate
the developments
which took place in
the coastal town of
Youngsville
between 1980 and 2005
.
Overall
, a comparison of the two maps
reveals a complete transformation
from
a largely rural
to
a mainly urban area.
In the year 1980
, the town was
a much greener residential area with a large
number of trees
and individual houses, but
during the next 25 years
, the town
saw a number of significant changes
.
The most noticeable is that
all of the
trees in the south of the River Alanah
were
chopped down
, with all the
houses along the railway line
being demolished to make way for
skyscrapers.
Moreover, a new industrial zone with warehouses and factories
sprang up
around the school and airport.
In contrast
,
only a few trees
in the north of the river
remained
. The woodland
was cleared
and
converted into
a golf course, a park, and car parting facilities.
Further developments were
the construction of a stadium
next to
the north-
east corner of the lake and the extension of the railway line from the river
running directly to the north. A Marina was also constructed at the mouth of
the river.
