Where you see a hyphenated year, the first year is the original edition of the map while the second year is when the map was updated. Prior to the Great Depression, the maps were redrawn for each edition. Afterwards, to save money, they began reissuing old maps with updates. For example, Bloomington has maps dated "1927-1934." These maps were originally drawn in 1927 and reissued in 1934 with updates.

They show the development of water works, school and government buildings, and transportation systems.
