The map details a town now and a proposed future layout. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the town has become more industrial and accessible with additional roads though the majority of the town is largely unchanged in terms of the structures.

In the present day, there is an airfield to the northwest which connects to a long street (A2) that runs south. The road contains a roundabout from which another road leads east to bisect a railway line near a gas station. The presented plan would move the roundabout slightly south and the airfield would be replaced by an industrial estate with a new road going directly east to the railway. The railway itself would also be interrupted by a new roundabout near the same gas station.

In the easternmost part of the town, there is currently a town center and built-up area around Ring Road, both of which will be unaltered in the future. The final additions suggested are a new road (A4) going from the town center along the southern edge of the town to connect with A2 in the west. There will also be one further street from the town center that will allow for passage to the east and north of the town.
