Story Maps

PreviousGISNextMaps as Interface

Last updated 4 years ago

Story mapping platforms are applications that use a variety of maps, text, and multimedia elements to present interactive narratives that engage users and provide instantly-accessible geographic context to any project.

Spatial Stories

This story map, created using Knightlab's StoryMaps, combines text, video, and images to highlight how Chicago's dialogue with classical antiquity has shaped the city's look, reputation, and identity.

Spatial Stories & Analysis

This story map, which explores the current healthcare system and soaring cancer drug prices, was created using ArcGIS Online Story Maps. A more flexible and complex platform than Knighlab's version, it combines text, various media elements, and a variety of maps and data visualizations.
