 <\/p>\n

Without a doubt, this past year is one that will go down in history\u2014and that includes Esri Story Maps<\/a> history, too. With thousands of new stories being created each week, our storytelling community gave us, the Story Maps team, a number of reasons to celebrate.<\/p>\n

One major accomplishment: There are more than 750,000 stories now hosted in ArcGIS online, and countless others self-hosted across the Web. That\u2019s an incredible number, and a reminder of just how fortunate we are to be in the company of so many passionate place-based communicators.<\/p>\n

Of course, this community is more than just passionate. It\u2019s remarkably talented, too. We\u2019re firm believers that quality is far more deserving of celebration than quantity, yet from this viewpoint there\u2019s even more to applaud. If we thought the bar was raised in 2017<\/a>, well, this year it was rocket-propelled to new heights.<\/p>\n

Around the world, story map authors crafted more beautiful maps, wove together more powerful narratives, and tied everything together with more moving images than ever before. Not a day has gone by without my colleagues and I trading messages about new stories we\u2019ve stumbled across and had to drop everything to admire. It\u2019s one of the highlights of our jobs, and we\u2019re so fortunate in that regard.<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ll join us, then, in pausing for a moment to look back through some of the finest work that\u2019s come out of 2018. By no means is this an exhaustive list\u2014if it was, we\u2019d be here all day\u2014but it\u2019s a great place to start. First, we invite you to peruse some of our favorite stories created by your peers<\/a> in the Story Maps community. Their topics and approaches may be wildly diverse, but their caliber is uniformly superb.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":388392,"id":388392,"title":"CommunityStoryCollection","filename":"Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM.png","filesize":150679,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/mapping\/our-favorite-story-maps-from-2018\/screen-shot-2018-12-20-at-11-45-31-am","alt":"A screenshot of the community collection cover page","author":"7211","description":"","caption":"","name":"screen-shot-2018-12-20-at-11-45-31-am","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":388202,"date":"2018-12-20 16:46:58","modified":"2018-12-20 16:47:34","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":850,"height":478,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM-300x169.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":169,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM-768x432.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":432,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM.png","large-width":850,"large-height":478,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM.png","1536x1536-width":850,"1536x1536-height":478,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM.png","2048x2048-width":850,"2048x2048-height":478,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM-826x465.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-20-at-11.45.31-AM.png","wide_image-width":850,"wide_image-height":478}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/collections.storymaps.esri.com\/community-stories-2018\/"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
