Project 3: Web Applications - Prepare Week

Story Map


This week we started on our third project where we learned about story maps. When my wife asked me what a story map was, I jokingly replied, "it's a map, that tells...a story". Yeah, she rolled her eyes at me. According to Esri's website, a story map is a web map that incorporates text, multimedia and interactive functions to inform, educate, entertain and inspire people about a wide variety of topics. For this project I will create a walking tour of the downtown area of Hinesville, Georgia. The map will highlight points of interest within walking distance of the courthouse square. Check out this story map of the recent flood in Fort Collins, Colorado.
