Story Maps

GIS

Cambridge Story Maps use geography as a means of organizing and presenting information. They tell the story of a place, event, issue, trend, or pattern in a geographic context. They combine interactive maps with other rich content—text, photos, video, and audio—within user experiences that are basic and intuitive. In short - they are fun, easy to use, and easy to create maps.

Themes come from a variety of different City departments, including Conservation, Planning, and the Public Information Office.

Check out the official Cambridge GIS Story Maps Story to get an inside look at how Cambridge implemented story maps in their community, and explore the different methods for organizing and sharing  completed story maps with internal users and the public.
