Esri story maps are an exciting and popular feature of the ArcGIS platform that combine maps, photos, text, and other media, in a single interactive application. Any topic or project that includes a map can be a story map. In this seminar, you will learn about Esri application templates that simplify story map creation and require no coding. The presenters will discuss how to choose the best template for a project and the steps to create a compelling story map from a template.

The Story Map Basic application is a simple map viewer with a minimalist user interface. Apart from the title bar, an optional legend, and a configurable search box the map fills the screen. Use this app to let your map speak for itself. Your users can click features on the map to get more information in pop-ups. The Story Map Basic application puts all the emphasis on your map, so it works best when your map has great cartography and tells a clear story.You can create a Basic story map by sharing a web map as an application from the map viewer. You can also click the 'Create a Web App' button on this page to create a story map with this application. Optionally, the application source code can be downloaded for further customization and hosted on your own web server.For more information about the Story Map Basic application, a step-by-step tutorial, and a gallery of examples, please see this page on the Esri Story Maps website.

Baton Rouge's unique past has shaped the city that we live in today. The layout of the city's streets, the arrangement of prominent government and religious structures, the clustering of businesses, the distribution of residential neighborhoods, and the placement of parks and schools all speak to the long term processes of urban growth. Society invests tremendous effort in creating its urban centers and citizens develop attachments to those places. It is the investment of human effort that stimulates a sense of place and allows individuals to develop strong feelings about their home city. Sense of place is constantly reinforced by contact with the common, everyday landscapes that surround us. In Baton Rouge, the two principal university campuses, the state government complex, along with various historic neighborhoods and structures all stand as perpetual reminders of the city's past. Many familiar and, at the same time, unique landscape features of Baton Rouge shape our sense of place. Much has been written about the distinctive buildings that come to mind when Baton Rouge is mentioned, but what of the larger districts and neighborhoods? Residents generally are most familiar with their immediate surroundings or those places where they work and play and these surroundings ofter constitute more than a building or two. Children comprehend their immediate neighborhoods and those who move about a city come to know and develop ideas about the city's larger units. Geographers and planners like to think of cities in terms of these larger assemblages

Using Story Actions you can create links from text in the side or floating panel that will jump to a specific section. This can be useful if you want to create a table of contents, or otherwise want to provide the ability to quickly navigate to a specific section. Here’s how you can use story actions to create links to sections in your Map Journal.

Story maps have emerged as a popular storytelling device in recent years with cartographers and journalists leveraging geospatial web technologies to create unique spatial narratives. However, empirical research analyzing the design of story maps remains limited. Two recently proposed design frameworks provide promising avenues to characterize story maps in terms of elements of vivid cartography and techniques of map-based storytelling. In this article, I conducted a quantitative content analysis on 117 story maps of COVID-19 to operationalize map-based storytelling and vividness frameworks and to identify common design traits in contemporary story maps. My findings indicated that most story maps are longform infographics that use scrolling to advance the narrative. Stories applied a variety of attention, dosing, and mood techniques to enrich the storytelling experience. Story maps were primarily vivid through their use of color and novelty. Overall, most story maps utilized only a fraction of the map-based storytelling framework techniques. This research also demonstrated that it is challenging to analyze story maps based on these frameworks. Finally, this article improves the frameworks by proposing two new story map techniques and suggesting avenues of refinement.

A StoryMap Collection for your class will allow your students to submit their materials and view StoryMaps created by their classmates. You should create a single collection for your whole class and can, if you like, create additional collections for sections, groups, etc. From storymaps.arcgis.com, click Collections on the left. Click “New collection.” Give the collection a title and description that matches your course. If you are also going to create collections for your sections or for other subsets of the class, we suggest including the course number, the year, and the words WHOLE CLASS in the title.Add your personalized instructional StoryMap to the collection by clicking "add content" and selecting ArcGIS content. Find and select your instructional StoryMap, then click "Done."

Using a teacher created StoryMaps, students will explore the idea of the Demographic Transition Model.This StoryMap activity accompanies the NCGE webinar on March 29, 2023.

Understanding natural and human systems is an essential first step toward reducing the severity of climate change and adapting to a warmer future. Maps and geographic information systems are the primary tools by which scientists, policymakers, planners, and activists visualize and understand our rapidly changing world. Spatial information informs decisions about how to build a better future. This Story Map Journal was created by Esri's story maps team.

This resources contains PDF files and Python notebook files that demonstrate how to create geospatial resources in HydroShare and how to use these resources through web services provided by the built-in HydroShare GeoServer instance. Geospatial resources can be consumed directly into ArcMap, ArcGIS, Story Maps, Quantum GIS (QGIS), Leaflet, and many other mapping environments. This provides HydroShare users with the ability to store data and retrieve it via services without needing to set up new data services. All tutorials cover how to add WMS and WFS connections. WCS connections are available for QGIS and are covered in the QGIS tutorial. The tutorials and examples provided here are intended to get the novice user up-to-speed with WMS and GeoServer, though we encourage users to read further on these topic using internet searches and other resources. Also included in this resource is a tutorial designed to that walk users through the process of creating a GeoServer connected resource.

Story Maps enable you to harness the power of maps and geography to tell stories that will engage and inspire your audience. Story Maps are web applications you can create with ArcGIS that let you combine interactive maps with narrative text, photos, and other media.

The world is a crowded place, with more than 7 billion people on the planet as of 2014. About half of this population lives in urban areas, and ongoing migration into city centers has given rise to the megacity—a metropolitan area with 10 million people or more. This story map was produced by Esri's story map team. It is a customization of the Esri Story Map Journal app, and was created in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution. This story map was also published on Smithsonian.com:https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/make-cities-explode-size-these-interactive-maps-180952832/

You have uploaded your spreadsheet data as point data to ArcGIS Online and opened it in the map viewer. Now, you need to start creating the maps for your StoryMap. In this exercise, you will create the first map to include in your StoryMap. This map will feature animated symbology to highlight key events from the first night of The Blitz and create a map tour similar to the key events map tour in the 'Black Saturday' - Beginning of The Blitz StoryMap.In this exercise you will:Change the symbology of the bombing data from 7th September 1940 so it is animated Create layers that can be used to show only specific bomb events (this is so you can highlight these in your story map later)Explore the Living Atlas and ArcGIS Online to find a basemap produced closer to the time the first night of The Blitz took place
