The three maps show Palm Grove is a coastal town about 450 kilometres from the nearest city. It has recently become a major resort.
SAMPLE ANSWER
The three maps representing changes in Palm Grove between 1950 and 2000 show that the town became a resort as accessibility form the outside improved.
In 1950, Palm Grove was a small fishing village with few hotels. It lies 450 kilometers from the nearest city. Since the only access to the village in 1950 was by a two-lane road, most tourists probably didn’t want to make the long trip to get there.
By 1975, a new four-lane high way had brought changes to Palm Grove. It was still a fishing village, but it appears that the new road made it easier for tourists to get there. Several new hotels had been built for them along the beach.
By 2000, an airport had been built just outside Palm Grove. This apparently changed the town into resort. The hotel district was greatly expanded and the fishing docks removed. Probably most local residents now work in the tourist industry.
