Map 5: Remembering Pearl Harbor


This map of the attack on Pearl Harbor is an example of an interactive timeline map. As it moves through the different dates on the timeline it takes you on a "tour" of the attack. What I found especially interesting about it is how it zooms in and out of the map. The inset map on the top helps the view understand where it is in relation to Hawaii as a whole as the map zooms in and out. Every date also has additional articles that the reader can view to gain more details about the events.
