The maps illustrate the major developments in the town of Springer from 1970 to the present. Overall, the city’s landscape has undergone significant transformations over this fifty-year period, marked by numerous changes and the introduction of new amenities. In 1970, Springer was primarily a rural area, characterized by a vast forest, large farmland, and only a few buildings, including two houses and one shop. However, the town has experienced dramatic changes over the years. Notably, much of the forest was cleared to make way for various new facilities. A school was built at the town’s center, surrounded by numerous shops. In the top right-hand corner, an airport was constructed, located near a small remaining portion of the forest, as well as some flats above the shops. The large farmland from 1970 was reduced significantly to accommodate additional apartments and new housing. Moreover, there has been a marked increase in the number of roads connecting the buildings compared to the 1970 layout (disposition). Despite these developments, some green spaces from the original forest remain, particularly a stretch of greenery along the western edge of the town. In conclusion, Springer has been transformed dramatically from a rural settlement in 1970 to a more urbanized area today.
