I had seen these story maps before and I just love the concept of telling the stories and history of a place and attaching them to a map. The concept and tools to create are provided by ARCGIS.com. ArcGIS is a geographic information system (GIS) platform that helps users create, manage, and analyze geographic data, or maps. The StoryMaps concept "transforms your geographic information system (GIS) work into interactive content that informs and inspires."
The most inspiring collection of story maps that I have seen to date were produced by the town of Apex to celebrate their 150th year celebrated in 2023. Please follow the link to the Apex 150th celebration to see what a wonderful tribute they have created. Apex 150 - Past, Present and Potential
There are seven communities hightlighted in this series so be sure to scroll through to the bottom of each one for the links to the others.StoryMaps include Apex Annexation Tour, Fairview Community, Friendship Community, Green Level Community, Low End Community, New Hill Community, and Olive Chapel Community. I promise you will be glad you did.
