All stories happen somewhere. Place relates to an audience where things happened, which in turn can explain why or how things happened the way that they did. To help storytellers add such crucial context to their stories, express maps were one of the first features incorporated when ArcGIS StoryMaps was rolled out in July of 2019. Storytellers of all cartographic experience levels can populate an express map with features, pop-ups, text labels, and more, injecting slick, effective, interactive cartography into any story.On top of that, express maps also serve as a "Trojan horse" of sorts that allows storytellers to create interactive image experiences as well as maps. Thanks to a capability added in August, 2024, you can now upload an image to serve as the base of an express map. This means that you can apply the same drawing, pop-up, and annotation tools to that image as you can to a map.

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

This StoryMap series contains a collection of four Dashboards used to display active project data on the Connecticut road network. Dashboards are used to display Capital Projects, Maintenance Resurfacing Program (MRP) projects, and Local Transportation Capital Improvement Program (LOTCIP) projects, as well as a dashboard to display all data together.Dashboards are listed by tabs at the top of the display. Each dashboard has similar capabilities. Projects are displayed in a zoomable GIS interface and a Project List. As the map is zoomed and the extent changes, the Project List will update to only display projects on the map. Projects selected from the Map or Project List will display a Project Details popup. Additional components of each dashboard include dynamic project counts, a Map Zoom By Town function and a Project Number Search.Capital Project data is sourced from the CTDOT Project Work Areas feature layer. The data is filtered to display active projects only, and categorized as "Pre-Construction" or "Construction." Pre-Construction is defined as projects with a CurrentSchedulePhase value of Planning, Pre-Design, Final Design, or Contract Processing.Maintenance Project data is sourced from the MRP Active feature layer. Central Maintenance personnel coordinate with the four districts to develop an annual statewide resurfacing program based upon a variety of factors (age, condition, etc.) that prioritize paving locations. Active MRP projects are incomplete projects for the current year.LOTCIP Project data is sourced from the CTDOT LOTCIP Projects feature layer. The data updates from LOTCIP database nightly. The geometry of the LOTCIP projects represent the approximate outline of the projects limits and does not represent the actual limits of the projects.

The Sustainable Landscape Health Assessment (SLHA) is a semi-quantitative social-ecological assessment of the protected and open-space landscapes within the Santa Cruz Mountains Bioregion (SCMB). The assessment has three dimensions: ecosystem integrity (EI), ecosystem services (ES), and stewardship supports (SS), and provides scores for each of these dimensions and the metrics that comprise them (Figure 1). By providing a baseline assessment of the health of focal habitats and the levels of services provided by open spaces across the region, the SLHA provides a preliminary decision-support framework and dataset that land managers can use to prioritize management decisions (independently and collaboratively) and to support communications with partners, funders, and the general public.

In September 2020, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors directed staff to document telecommunication projects completed, in-progress, and future projects, using the 2014 Wireless GAP Analysis and the Segra Dark Fiber Area Network. Staff mapped the data identified by the Board, as well as other information related to telecommunication projects. This information was then used to identify select unserved or underserved geographic areas of the county.The companion interactive map allows the user to turn on or off all layers used in the project.

The Story Maps, developed by the Joint Research Centre, the Commission's science and knowledge service, inform in an easily accessible way about several initiatives across Europe linked to cultural heritage. These include actions like the European Heritage Days, the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage or the European Heritage Label, funded by Creative Europe, the EU programme that supports the cultural and creative sectors. The website also contains links to the digital collections of Europeana – the EU digital platform for cultural heritage. This platform allows users to explore more than 50 million artworks, artefacts, books, videos and sounds from more than 3500 museums, galleries, libraries and archives across Europe. These maps will be updated and developed, for example taking into account tips from young people exploring Europe's cultural heritage through the new DiscoverEU initiative.

These interactive energy equity indicators are designed to help identify opportunities to improve access to clean energy technologies for low-income customers and disadvantaged communities; increase clean energy investment in those communities; and improve community resilience to grid outages and extreme events. A summary report of these indicators will be updated each year to track progress on implementation of the recommendations put forth by the Energy Commission’s December 2016 Low-Income Barriers Study mandated by Senate Bill 350 (de León, Chapter547, Statutes of 2015), and monitor performance of state-administered clean energy programs in low-income and disadvantaged communities across the state.Selected energy equity indicators are highlighted on the following California map. The base map highlights areas with median household income of $37,000 or less (60 percent of statewide median income for 2011-2015) and disadvantaged communities eligible for greenhouse gas reduction fund programs. The map also identifies tribal areas. Click to view data for low-income areas with low energy efficiency investments, low solar capacity per capita, or low clean vehicle rebate incentive investments. Additional data layers include high-density low-income areas and low-income areas that have many older buildings, as well as counties with high levels of asthma-related emergency room visit. This information can help identify opportunities for improving clean energy access, investment, and resilience in low-income and disadvantaged communities in California. Additional indicators are available by clicking on the Story Map or Tracking Progress Report links provided above.

Open the Data Resource: https://gis.chesapeakebay.net/wip/localstory/ The Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), or "pollution diet," establishes limits on the amount of nutrients and sediment the Bay can absorb and still meet water quality standards. One of the challenges facing the Chesapeake Bay Program is communicating how local decisions that affect local waterways can also affect the Chesapeake Bay. The goal of this cascade story map is to help make linkages between local actions and the living resources of the Chesapeake Bay. Beginning with an interactive investigation of the significance of local waterways, the story map connects those place-based issues with the ecological and economic importance of the Chesapeake Bay itself. The Bay's vital fish and shellfish resources are connected to upstream actions through habitat requirements in the Bay in the form of dissolved oxygen and other criteria. Those habitat requirements are the basis for water quality standards, which are then used to inform sophisticated models of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. Ultimately, the models are used to allocate a "pollution diet" among the upstream contributors to the problem of excessive nutrient and sediment pollution. Local actions intended to benefit local waterways are linked to regional actions that help to clean up the Chesapeake Bay. It is a "win-win" relationship that is a key to local and regional water quality goals.
