These charts are usually pretty accurate and from what I've seen mostly show tracks and spurs being removed at approximately the correct time. For some reason the Benton Harbor charts show less detail of the track layouts after 1963.
The Benton Harbor charts are especially interesting because they show the MC line coming into St Joe from the south. I believe the stub of this branch a few miles long still showed on PC track charts (accessed by trackage rights over the C&O swing bridge). This line at one time had access to the south side of Benton Harbor via two swing bridges, which show on these charts probably a lot later than they should (maybe the track and swing bridges were just sitting there inactive into the 70s)
