The maps detail changes to the village of Pancha from 2005 to 2015. Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the town became more developed with the addition of a new road, modern utilities, and general expansion of current residential, commercial and educational areas.

By 2015, the single dirt road present in 2005 had been transformed into a highway lined with road signs, telephone poles and telecommunication towers in the bottom left corner of the map. On the left side of the road, the marketplace has grown and become more organized while the sizes of the homes along the road have also become larger.

To the right side of the road, in the bottom corner, the area demarcated for pagodas now allows for an additional building. Just above the pagodas, two homes have been cleared away and in the upper right corner, the town built a secondary school to complement the primary school.

It is also worth noting that in 2005, most homes only possessed access to telephones but by 2015 satellite service had become common.
