This web map contains the same layers as the Imagery with Labels basemap that is available in the basemap gallery of ArcGIS.com's map viewer, ArcGIS Explorer Online, ArcGIS Explorer Desktop, and the mobile clients. The Imagery with Labels basemap contains the World Imagery map service with the Boundaries and Places map service drawn on top. When you use this basemap in a web map, any map services that you add into the map get sandwiched between the imagery and the labels drawn on top, so this is a good basemap you use if you want to see services that don't contain their own labels with imagery drawn behind them and reference labels drawn on top.This web map also includes the World Transportation map service. This service shows streets, roads and highways and their names. When you zoom in to the highest level of detail the lines disappear and you just see the street names and road numbers.Feedback: Have you ever seen a problem in the Esri World Imagery Map that you wanted to see fixed?

The California Natural Resources Agency’s Access for All Initiative and 30x30 set a goal of equitable access for all to the state’s natural and open spaces. This dashboard helps illustrate the current challenges and highlights opportunities.

The Access Explorer shows statewide measures of the population living within a half mile of any open space such as a park with public access contained within the Conserved Areas database, whether it meets the 30x30 definition of conserved or not.

You can then compare those measures to areas that meet the 30x30 definition or to the population overall.

The Access Explorer is a work in progress. Enhancements will be informed by an Outdoors for All roadmap due out in early 2023.

The demographics were compiled from 'https://doc.arcgis.com/en/esri-demographics/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>ESRI Demographics in March 2022.

About the dataJointly managed by NASA and the USGS, Landsat is the longest running spaceborne earth imaging and observation program in history. The Landsat program began in 1972, with the launch of Landsat 1. Beginning with Landsat 4, the program began providing mission to mission data continuity.Landsat Collection 2 Level-2 science products, imagery from 1982 to present, are made publicly available by the USGS. The continuity in this scientific record allows for critical and reliable observation and analysis of Earth processes and changes over time.The Landsat Level-2 multispectral imagery is available in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World as a dynamic time enabled image service, accessible across the ArcGIS system and used to power this app. For more about the service and the data, see Landsat Level-2.About the appLandsat multispectral imagery helps to track and document land use and land change associated with climate change, urbanization, drought, wildfire, deforestation, and other natural processes and human activity.Through an intuitive user experience, this app leverages a variety of ArcGIS capabilities to explore and begin to unlock the wealth of information that Landsat provides. Some of the key capabilities include:Visual exploration of a Dynamic global mosaic of the best available Landsat scenes.On-the-fly multispectral band combinations and indices for visualization and analysis.Interactive Find a Scene by location, sensor, time, and cloud cover.Visual change by time, and comparison of different renderings, with Swipe and Animation modes.Analysis including threshold masking and temporal profiles for vegetation, water, land surface temperature, and more.

The ArcGIS Online US Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map collection now contains over 177,000 historical quadrangle maps dating from 1882 to 2006. The USGS Historical Topographic Map Explorer app brings these maps to life through an interface that guides users through the steps for exploring the map collection:

Finding the maps of interest is simple. Users can see a footprint of the map in the map view before they decide to add it to the display, and thumbnails of the maps are shown in pop-ups on the timeline. The timeline also helps users find maps because they can zoom and pan, and maps at select scales can be turned on or off by using the legend boxes to the left of the timeline. Once maps have been added to the display, users can reorder them by dragging them. Users can also download maps as zipped GeoTIFF images. Users can also share the current state of the app through a hyperlink or social media. This ArcWatch article guides you through each of these steps: https://www.esri.com/esri-news/arcwatch/1014/envisioning-the-past.

The California Natural Resources Agency’s Access for All Initiative and 30x30 set a goal of equitable access for all to the state’s natural and open spaces. This dashboard helps illustrate the current challenges and highlights opportunities. The Access Explorer compares populations living near publicly accessible open spaces with those of the community overall.

Supermarkets are one of the most popular and convenient ways in which Americans gain access to healthy food, such as fresh meat and fish, or fresh fruits and vegetables. There are various ways in which people gain access to supermarkets. People in the suburbs drive to supermarkets and load up the car with many bags of food. People in cities depend much more on walking to the local store, or taking a bus or train.This map came about after asking a simple question: how many Americans live within a reasonable walk or drive to a supermarket?In this case, "reasonable" was defined as a 10 minute drive, or a 1 mile walk. The ArcGIS Network Analyst extension performed the calculations on streets data from StreetMap Premium, and the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension created a heat map of the walkable access and drivable access to supermarkets.The green dots represent populations in poverty who live within one mile of a supermarket. The red dots represent populations in poverty who live beyond a one mile walk to a supermarket, but may live within a 10 minute drive...which presumes they have access to a car or public transit. The grey dots represent the total population in a given area.This is an excellent map to use as backdrop to show how people are improving access to healthy food in their community. Open this map in ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Online to use it as a backdrop to your local analysis work. Or open it in ArcGIS Explorer to add your favorite farmers' market, CSA, or transit line -- then share that map via Facebook, Twitter or email.This map shows data for the entire U.S. The supermarkets included in the analysis have annual sales of $1 million or more.Data source: see this map package.
