Story Maps of Cambridge, Massachusetts

Cambridge Story Maps:

Story Maps are a fun and easy way to combine online web maps with multimedia content such as text, photos, video, and audio. There are no developer or GIS/ mapping skills required to create these maps. Cambridge City Department Staff have created dozens of story maps to highlight community events, innovative projects, historic landmarks, and more.

Katie Grillo, a GIS Technical Specialist with Cambridge’s IT department, is a key person to contact if you are interested in how Story Maps have been implemented into the city of Cambridge.
