The map below show the changes that acurred to a town named Willington in 1780, 1860 and 2000.

The map illustrates how a town, particularly Willington, transformed in the years 1780, 1860, and 2000. From an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that the number of homes, villages, and roads showed an upward trend,

whereas

those in wood and farms declined during

this

period.

To begin

with, there were 100 homes in 1780, which doubled in the following century. By the end of the period surveyed,

this

number had increased to 500.

This

growth

also

paralleled the rise in the figures for village and road, which grew to 6 and 2, respectively, in 2000. In comparison, the city had 4 farms at the beginning of the era, which decreased to 2 in 1860. By 2000, there was hardly any farm left; alternatively, there were various public facilities

such

as schools, sports fields, and shops.

In addition

, a wetland for birds was built in the 21st century

at the end

of the river.
