Interactive or video maps are awesome. I think that they're a great way to show the effects of an event, or the scope or range of something. As a writer I love words, but as a visual learner, I need pictures as well.
This website has some cool video maps showing timelines throughout history. The one I find most interesting is the history of religion, because I first saw it while taking a comparative religions course in high school.
(It's best to watch these on full screen view, so you can see all of the subtle changes.)
