Story Maps<\/a> are designed for storytelling, and typically stories are enjoyed as authored; viewed from intro to epilogue. But there are some story maps that are more like collections of short stories, and other cases where you might want to highlight a specific “chapter” in a larger volume.<\/p>\n

Story Map Tour, Journal, and Series allow you to open, or launch, a story map at a specific place, just like opening a book to a bookmarked chapter. Follow the links below to learn how.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

 <\/p>\n

Story Map Tour<\/h2>\n

Story Map Tour<\/a> is ideal when you want to present a linear, place-based narrative featuring images or videos. Each story point, or stop<\/strong>, in the narrative is a location on the map. Readers have the option of clicking sequentially through the narrative, or they can browse by interacting with the map or using the thumbnail carousel.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":428852,"id":428852,"title":"open-1","filename":"open-1-1.jpg","filesize":89315,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/mapping\/launch-a-story-map-at-a-specific-place\/open-1","alt":"","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"","name":"open-1","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":76531,"date":"2019-02-04 01:51:03","modified":"2019-02-04 01:51:03","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":750,"height":393,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1-300x157.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":157,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","medium_large-width":750,"medium_large-height":393,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","large-width":750,"large-height":393,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","1536x1536-width":750,"1536x1536-height":393,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","2048x2048-width":750,"2048x2048-height":393,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","card_image-width":750,"card_image-height":393,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-1-1.jpg","wide_image-width":750,"wide_image-height":393}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/en\/gallery\/#s=0&md=storymaps-apps:map-tour"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Story Map Journal<\/h2>\n

Story Map Journal<\/a> is ideal when you want to combine narrative text with maps and other embedded content. A Map Journal contains entries, or sections, that readers scroll through. Each section in a Map Journal has an associated map, image, video or web page. Actions can also be defined in journal sections so that, for example, clicking a word automatically zooms the section\u2019s map to a particular location.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":428862,"id":428862,"title":"open-2","filename":"open-2-1.jpg","filesize":112491,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/mapping\/launch-a-story-map-at-a-specific-place\/open-2","alt":"","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"","name":"open-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":76531,"date":"2019-02-04 01:57:09","modified":"2019-02-04 01:57:09","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":750,"height":383,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1-300x153.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":153,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","medium_large-width":750,"medium_large-height":383,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","large-width":750,"large-height":383,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","1536x1536-width":750,"1536x1536-height":383,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","2048x2048-width":750,"2048x2048-height":383,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","card_image-width":750,"card_image-height":383,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-2-1.jpg","wide_image-width":750,"wide_image-height":383}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/en\/gallery\/#s=0&md=storymaps-apps:map-journal"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Story Map Series<\/h2>\n

Story Map Series<\/a> lets you present a series of maps via tabs, numbered bullets, or a unique, expandable side accordion. Each represents a unique part of your story called an entry. In addition to maps, you can also include images, video and web content in your series to tell your story and engage your audience.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":428972,"id":428972,"title":"open-5","filename":"open-5.jpg","filesize":64814,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/story-maps\/mapping\/launch-a-story-map-at-a-specific-place\/open-5","alt":"","author":"7641","description":"","caption":"","name":"open-5","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":76531,"date":"2019-02-04 02:36:07","modified":"2019-02-04 02:36:07","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":750,"height":383,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5-300x153.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":153,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","medium_large-width":750,"medium_large-height":383,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","large-width":750,"large-height":383,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","1536x1536-width":750,"1536x1536-height":383,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","2048x2048-width":750,"2048x2048-height":383,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","card_image-width":750,"card_image-height":383,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2017\/04\/open-5.jpg","wide_image-width":750,"wide_image-height":383}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/storymaps.arcgis.com\/en\/gallery\/#s=0&md=storymaps-apps:map-series"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
