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.
