Good idea for a challenge. I see these types of things in a lot of books, like history books and atlases.
Yes, this seems like a fairly fun challenge
I would not be interested in this challenge.
I would like to see a map that has a before and after stage.
A building before and after it's been put to the torch.
A small village sacked or overgrown after being deserted.
A small natural cave carved into a keep.
A castle to ruins
A dry area before and after being flooded.
A settlement or camp that becomes a small town.
The basic idea is that an adventuring party sees a place, then many years later have a reason to revisit it and the changes that would make it a new experience.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

I think this is a really cool idea. Lots of room to flex the imagination too.
Why not allow more than just two stages? for example, one could make a series of maps showing the changes of political borders in an area over a timeline. Or one could show many stages on the development of a settlement: starting with a tiny hamlet, growing into a village, then a town, a city and a bustling metropolis - perhaps undergoing setbacks, periods of stagnation, etc along the way.
I like the idea... I did something on this order when we had the siege map contest several months ago. Mine was the progression of the battle over the course of the day.

I have to eventually do 3 time period maps for each place in my setting so this would be kinda neat...
I have a several-stages map planned for a collab project in my writers group. But I have no timeline for completion (as usual).
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
Ooooooh, this sounds like it could be an interesting one. I'm already seeing where I might go with something like this, assuming I would have time to work on it with everything else that's going on.
Ya got my vote.

I have to post this, as it is probably the most hilarious "passage of time" map I've ever seen. It's from a finnish comic strip called Fingerpori. Too bad I coudn't find a higher resolution version. The language is also finnish :S, but I'll translate some of the location names, so that also you understand why it makes me smile
1st one = 1803, 2nd = "today"
Translations:
Köyhien maakuoppa = The poor people's pit
Venäjä = Russia
Kela = Social Insurance Institution
Kartanoita = Mansions
Tori = Marketplace
Huoria = Whores
Toksiset suot = Toxic swamps
Taikametsä = Magical forest
There's couple of other names, but you'll brobably figure them out / know them already.
