Most of those original dishes were local to the area, and included shellfish, venison, fruit, and nuts in addition to turkey. However, as America has grown, not only in population, but in expanse, Thanksgiving dinner has taken on new regional flavors and demands that span the breadth of the entire country. As food in the modern age must now travel hundreds of miles to reach the dinner table, consumers are becoming more concerned about the origins of their consumption choices. Thanksgiving is no exception.<br \/>\nThrough GIS technology, we can now see exactly where each part of our Thanksgiving meal came from. Four maps show the locations in the United States that four different staples of Thanksgiving dinner are produced. These maps can be explored easily by clicking through the <em>Where Did Your Thanksgiving Dinner Come From?<\/em> Story Map.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8910\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8910\" style=\"width: 477px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/files\/2016\/11\/ThanksgivingStoryMap1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8910\" src=\"http:\/\/www.esri.com\/about\/newsroom\/app\/uploads\/files\/2016\/11\/ThanksgivingStoryMap1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"477\" height=\"239\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8910\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cWhere Did Your Thanksgiving Dinner Come From?
