How do I write the overview for two maps?

Nov 5, 2026
Short answer

Four sentences: the overall direction of change, what expanded, what disappeared, and what stayed the same. Put it immediately after the introduction rather than at the end, and keep it general, because specific figures and building names belong in the detail paragraphs.
