Description
A Zendesk ticket reports the problem that a StoryMap can often fill the screen of a small device, such that all drag events are captured by the storymap, making it impossible to scroll away from the storymap once it fills the screen.
The person suggested implementing the "swipe to navigate" interface that TimelineJS has, which would work until the user clicks "ok" at which point the problem is the same as before.
With other kinds of maps, I have seen a control which basically toggles swipe sensitivity -- I think the icon might have been a lock? We might be able to do something like that at small viewports?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the StoryMap behavior on a small viewport and compare it with TimelineJS's swipe-to-navigate interface, as suggested in the issue. The work is done when users can navigate past a full-screen StoryMap on small devices without losing the intended map interaction.
