The National Hydrography Dataset Plus High Resolution (NHDplus High Resolution) maps the lakes, ponds, streams, rivers and other surface waters of the United States. Created by the US Geological Survey, NHDPlus High Resolution provides mean annual flow and velocity estimates for rivers and streams. Additional attributes provide connections between features facilitating complicated analyses.For more information on the NHDPlus High Resolution dataset see the User’s Guide for the National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus) High Resolution.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Surface waters and related features of the United States and associated territoriesGeographic Extent: The Contiguous United States, Hawaii, portions of Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marianas Islands, and American SamoaProjection: Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere Visible Scale: Visible at all scales but layer draws best at scales larger than 1:1,000,000Source: USGSUpdate Frequency: AnnualPublication Date: July 2022This layer was symbolized in the ArcGIS Map Viewer and while the features will draw in the Classic Map Viewer the advanced symbology will not. Prior to publication, the network and non-network flowline feature classes were combined into a single flowline layer. Similarly, the Area and Waterbody feature classes were merged under a single schema.Attribute fields were added to the flowline and waterbody layers to simplify symbology and enhance the layer's pop-ups. Fields added include Pop-up Title, Pop-up Subtitle, Esri Symbology (waterbodies only), and Feature Code Description. All other attributes are from the original dataset. No data values -9999 and -9998 were converted to Null values.What can you do with this layer?Feature layers work throughout the ArcGIS system. Generally your work flow with feature layers will begin in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Pro. Below are just a few of the things you can do with a feature service in Online and Pro.ArcGIS OnlineAdd this layer to a map in the map viewer. The layer or a map containing it can be used in an application. Change the layer’s transparency and set its visibility rangeOpen the layer’s attribute table and make selections. Selections made in the map or table are reflected in the other. Center on selection allows you to zoom to features selected in the map or table and show selected records allows you to view the selected records in the table.Apply filters. For example you can set a filter to show larger streams and rivers using the mean annual flow attribute or the stream order attribute.Change the layer’s style and symbologyAdd labels and set their propertiesCustomize the pop-upUse as an input to the ArcGIS Online analysis tools. This layer works well as a reference layer with the trace downstream and watershed tools. The buffer tool can be used to draw protective boundaries around streams and the extract data tool can be used to create copies of portions of the data.ArcGIS ProAdd this layer to a 2d or 3d map.Use as an input to geoprocessing. For example, copy features allows you to select then export portions of the data to a new feature class.Change the symbology and the attribute field used to symbolize the dataOpen table and make interactive selections with the mapModify the pop-upsApply Definition Queries to create sub-sets of the layerThis layer is part of the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to explore the landscape layers and many other beautiful and authoritative maps on hundreds of topics.Questions?Please leave a comment below if you have a question about this layer, and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Watercolor maps are beautiful. Maps made in ArcGIS Pro can use a watercolor style to look realistically watercolory. Therefore, according to the transitive property, we can say that these maps may be beautiful.There are many utilities for a style like this. Mapping local parks and communities, creating your own vector basemaps, transforming digital features into plausibly tangible art, or just getting inspired by the combined wonder of geography and texture.Here are some example swatches of the point, line, and polygon styles available herein.Here are a couple examples of their use in Pro:Happy watercoloring!

This web map features a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data created and hosted by Esri. Esri produced this vector tile basemap in ArcGIS Pro from a live replica of OSM data, hosted by Esri, and rendered using a creative cartographic style emulating a blueprint technical drawing. The vector tiles are updated every few weeks with the latest OSM data. This vector basemap is freely available for any user or developer to build into their web map or web mapping apps.OpenStreetMap (OSM) is an open collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. Volunteers gather location data using GPS, local knowledge, and other free sources of information and upload it. The resulting free map can be viewed and downloaded from the OpenStreetMap site: www.OpenStreetMap.org. Esri is a supporter of the OSM project and is excited to make this new vector basemap available available to the OSM, GIS, and Developer communities.

Inspired by the book, Dirkzwager’s Guide to the New-Waterway, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Europoort and Botlek for 1978, this style re-creates its crisp modernist colors balanced with charming hand-drawn landcover features and incorporates the tangible variability of print ink and aged paper.I was shown a wonderful example, provided by Eelco Berghuis, which was a gift from his grandfather.So I sampled colors and created fill and line symbol features with a print-like texture and bleed. When applied (admittedly pretty haphazardly) to New York City (New Amsterdam), for example, the style looks like this...And here are the style elements that comprise it...Happy Harbor Mapping!

For complete collection of data and models, see https://doi.org/10.21942/uva.c.5290546.Original model developed in 2016-17 in ArcGIS by Henk Pieter Sterk (www.rfase.org), with minor updates in 2021 by Stacy Shinneman and Henk Pieter Sterk. Model used to generate publication results:Hierarchical geomorphological mapping in mountainous areas Matheus G.G. De Jong, Henk Pieter Sterk, Stacy Shinneman & Arie C. Seijmonsbergen. Submitted to Journal of Maps 2020, revisions made in 2021.This model creates tiers (columns) of geomorphological features (Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3) in the landscape of Vorarlberg, Austria, each with an increasing level of detail. The input dataset needed to create this 'three-tier-legend' is a geomorphological map of Vorarlberg with a Tier 3 category (e.g. 1111, for glacially eroded bedrock). The model then automatically adds Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 categories based on the Tier 3 code in the 'Geomorph' field. The model replaces the input file with an updated shapefile of the geomorphology of Vorarlberg, now including three tiers of geomorphological features. Python script files and .lyr symbology files are also provided here.

The Residential Schools Locations Dataset in Geodatabase format (IRS_Locations.gbd) contains a feature layer "IRS_Locations" that contains the locations (latitude and longitude) of Residential Schools and student hostels operated by the federal government in Canada. All the residential schools and hostels that are listed in the Residential Schools Settlement Agreement are included in this dataset, as well as several Industrial schools and residential schools that were not part of the IRRSA. This version of the dataset doesn’t include the five schools under the Newfoundland and Labrador Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. The original school location data was created by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and was provided to the researcher (Rosa Orlandini) by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in April 2017. The dataset was created by Rosa Orlandini, and builds upon and enhances the previous work of the Truth and Reconcilation Commission, Morgan Hite (creator of the Atlas of Indian Residential Schools in Canada that was produced for the Tk'emlups First Nation and Justice for Day Scholar's Initiative, and Stephanie Pyne (project lead for the Residential Schools Interactive Map). Each individual school location in this dataset is attributed either to RSIM, Morgan Hite, NCTR or Rosa Orlandini. Many schools/hostels had several locations throughout the history of the institution. If the school/hostel moved from its’ original location to another property, then the school is considered to have two unique locations in this dataset,the original location and the new location. For example, Lejac Indian Residential School had two locations while it was operating, Stuart Lake and Fraser Lake. If a new school building was constructed on the same property as the original school building, it isn't considered to be a new location, as is the case of Girouard Indian Residential School.When the precise location is known, the coordinates of the main building are provided, and when the precise location of the building isn’t known, an approximate location is provided. For each residential school institution location, the following information is provided: official names, alternative name, dates of operation, religious affiliation, latitude and longitude coordinates, community location, Indigenous community name, contributor (of the location coordinates), school/institution photo (when available), location point precision, type of school (hostel or residential school) and list of references used to determine the location of the main buildings or sites. Access Instructions: there are 47 files in this data package. Please download the entire data package by selecting all the 47 files and click on download. Two files will be downloaded, IRS_Locations.gbd.zip and IRS_LocFields.csv. Uncompress the IRS_Locations.gbd.zip. Use QGIS, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcMap to open the feature layer IRS_Locations that is contained within the IRS_Locations.gbd data package. The feature layer is in WGS 1984 coordinate system. There is also detailed file level metadata included in this feature layer file. The IRS_locations.csv provides the full description of the fields and codes used in this dataset.

IntroductionIRWIN ArcGIS Online GeoPlatform Services The Integrated Reporting of Wildland-Fire Information (IRWIN) Production data is replicated every 60 seconds to the ArcGIS Online GeoPlatform organization so that read-only views can be provided for consumers. This replicated view is called the hosted datastore. The “IRWIN Data” group is a set of Feature Layer views based on the replicated IRWIN layers. These feature layers provide a near real-time feed of all valid IRWIN data. All incidents that have been shared through the integration service since May 20, 2014 are available through this service. The incident data provides the location of existing fires, size, conditions and several other attributes that help classify fires. The IRWIN Data service allows users to create a web map, share it with their organization, or pull it into ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro for more in-depth analysis.InstructionsTo allow the emergency management GIS staff to join the IRWIN Data group, they will need to set up an ArcGIS Online account through our account manager.

This packaged data collection contains two sets of two additional model runs that used the same inputs and parameters as our primary model, with the exception being we implemented a "maximum corridor length" constraint that allowed us to identify and visualize the corridors as being well-connected (≤15km) or moderately connected (≤45km). This is based on an assumption that corridors longer than 45km are too long to sufficiently accommodate dispersal. One of these sets is based on a maximum corridor length that uses Euclidean (straight-line) distance, while the other set is based on a maximum corridor length that uses cost-weighted distance. These two sets of corridors can be compared against the full set of corridors from our primary model to identify the remaining corridors, which could be considered poorly connected. This package includes the following data layers: Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Euclidean Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Euclidean Distance Please refer to the embedded metadata and the information in our full report for details on the development of these data layers. Packaged data are available in two formats: Geodatabase (.gdb): A related set of file geodatabase rasters and feature classes, packaged in an ESRI file geodatabase. ArcGIS Pro Map Package (.mpkx): The same data included in the geodatabase, presented as fully-symbolized layers in a map. Note that you must have ArcGIS Pro version 2.0 or greater to view. See Cross-References for links to individual datasets, which can be downloaded in raster GeoTIFF (.tif) format.

The Census of Agriculture, produced by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA), provides a complete count of America's farms, ranches and the people who grow our food. The census is conducted every five years, most recently in 2017, and provides an in-depth look at the agricultural industry.This layer summarizes wheat production from the 2017 Census of Agriculture at the county level.This layer was produced from data downloaded using the USDA's QuickStats Application. The data was transformed using the Pivot Table tool in ArcGIS Pro and joined to the county boundary file provided by the USDA. The layer was published as feature layer in ArcGIS Online. Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: 2017 Wheat ProductionCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: 48 Contiguous United StatesVisible Scale: All ScalesSource: USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service QuickStats ApplicationPublication Date: 2017AttributesThis layer provides values for the following attributes.

Feature layers can be used just like any other vector layer. You can use feature layers as an input to geoprocessing tools in ArcGIS Pro or in Analysis in ArcGIS Online. Combine the layer with others in a map and set custom symbology or create a pop-up tailored for your users. For the details of working with feature layers the help documentation for ArcGIS Pro or the help documentation for ArcGIS Online are great places to start. The ArcGIS Blog is a great source of ideas for things you can do with feature layers. This layer is part of ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World that provides an easy way to find and explore many other beautiful and authoritative layers, maps, and applications on hundreds of topics.

The Viewshed analysis layer is used to identify visible areas. You specify the places you are interested in, either from a file or interactively, and the Viewshed service combines this with Esri-curated elevation data to create output polygons of visible areas. Some questions you can answer with the Viewshed task include:What areas can I see from this location? What areas can see me?Can I see the proposed wind farm?What areas can be seen from the proposed fire tower?The maximum number of input features is 1000.Viewshed has the following optional parameters:Maximum Distance: The maximum distance to calculate the viewshed.Maximum Distance Units: The units for the Maximum Distance parameter. The default is meters.DEM Resolution: The source elevation data; the default is 90m resolution SRTM. Other options include 30m, 24m, 10m, and Finest.Observer Height: The height above the surface of the observer. The default value of 1.75 meters is an average height of a person. If you are looking from an elevation location such as an observation tower or a tall building, use that height instead.Observer Height Units: The units for the Observer Height parameter. The default is meters.Surface Offset: The height above the surface of the object you are trying to see. The default value is 0. If you are trying to see buildings or wind turbines add their height here.Surface Offset Units: The units for the Surface Offset parameter. The default is meters.Generalize Viewshed Polygons: Determine if the viewshed polygons are to be generalized or not. The viewshed calculation is based upon a raster elevation model which creates a result with stair-stepped edges. To create a more pleasing appearance, and improve performance, the default behavior is to generalize the polygons. This generalization will not change the accuracy of the result for any location more than one half of the DEM's resolution.By default, this tool currently works worldwide between 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south based on the 3 arc-second (approximately 90 meter) resolution SRTM dataset. Depending upon the DEM resolution pick by the user, different data sources will be used by the tool. For 24m, tool will use global dataset WorldDEM4Ortho (excluding the counties of Azerbaijan, DR Congo and Ukraine) 0.8 arc-second (approximately 24 meter) from Airbus Defence and Space GmbH. For 30m, tool will use 1 arc-second resolution data in North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico) from the USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED), SRTM DEM-S dataset from Geoscience Australia in Australia and SRTM data between 60 degrees north and 56 degrees south in the remaining parts of the world (Africa, South America, most of Europe and continental Asia, the East Indies, New Zealand, and islands of the western Pacific). For 10m, tool will use 1/3 arc-second resolution data in the continental United States from USGS National Elevation Dataset (NED) and approximately 10 meter data covering Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Austria, Spain, Japan Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Italy, Northern Ireland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein from various authoritative sources.To learn more, read the developer documentation for Viewshed or follow the Learn ArcGIS exercise called I Can See for Miles and Miles.
