StoryMaps.
StoryMaps are an excellent way of telling environmental justice stories visually. We use them to combine traditional maps, photos, and narratives into one interactive experience that shows how the land, the water, and the people are all connected.
​
Each map creator brings their own perspective and insight, adding layers of understanding about the history , challenges, and resilience of our communities. Together, these maps help make complex issues easier to see, grasp, and act on.
