As visual storytelling devices, visual narratives and story maps have become increasingly important to geography, both as primary sources for interpretation and as ways of representing the world. Initially, literary geographers embraced the concept of narrative in their studies when they investigated the relations between space and literature. However, with the emergence of new and sophisticated information technologies, geographers and scholars from neighboring fields began to focus on how to visualize events, processes, and stories beyond static maps and images. Frequently taken as synonyms, visual narratives and story maps are now considered powerful forms of visualization employed in research, education, and a wide range of areas and projects that emphasize spatial dimensions.
