What Is a Story Map?

Story maps use Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to combine geospatial data with photos, video, audio, and text to visualize a theme or sequential events. Story maps are designed for nontechnical audiences with access to the Internet; users do not need experience with GIS software to read or use story maps. Story maps serve as a great tool for public engagement because they can easily be shared via social media or embedded within a website.

The Sample Story Maps

The demonstration story maps are divided into two sections. The first are samples of story maps created in the professional work world. The second section are story maps created by students, primarily entries that placed at the State level in the ESRI Story Map Competition.
