Story Map "Swipe" and "Spyglass" is an ArcGIS online application that enables users to interact with two web maps or two layers. A vertical bar or spyglass is used to alternate between two map interfaces, giving a visual comparison and also a useful tool for illustrating change over time.
By utilizing historical maps in the Geospatial Centre's collection, the "Spyglass" application vividly shows change over time.
