Creating ArcGIS Story Maps of the Morris Arboretum: Mapping People, Plants, and Place

This project explores the use of ArcGIS Story Maps in digital interpretation projects at the Morris Arboretum. Story Maps are web applications that bring together maps, images, and stories, into a cohesive, interactive, format. The completed deliverable, “Exploring a Century of Cherry Trees at the Morris Arboretum,” will be available to view via the Morris Arboretum website for the annual cherry blossom festival. This project shows that this method of digital interpretation is well-suited for future use at the Arboretum and opens the door to use many ArcGIS mapping and web application products.
