This map is designed to be used as a basemap by marine GIS professionals and as a reference map by anyone interested in ocean data. The basemap includes a vector tile layer for marine water body names, undersea feature names, and derived bathymetric depth values in meters. Land features include administrative boundaries, cities, inland waters, roads, overlaid on land cover and shaded relief imagery, including ocean floor relief.The map was compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers, including General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans GEBCO_08 Grid version 20100927 and IHO-IOC GEBCO Gazetteer of Undersea Feature Names August 2010 version (https://www.gebco.net), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Geographic for the oceans; and DeLorme, HERE, and Esri for topographic content. The basemap was designed and developed by Esri.The Ocean Basemap currently provides coverage for the world down to a scale of ~1:577k; coverage down to ~1:72k in United States coastal areas and various other areas; and coverage down to ~1:9k in limited regional areas. This demonstrates how the Ocean Basemap can and will be extended with higher resolution bathymetric data. You can contribute your bathymetric data to this service and have it served by Esri for the benefit of the Ocean GIS community. For details, see the Community Maps Program.The Ocean Basemap includes two layers, a base layer and overlay vector reference layer, so that users can display their operational data between they layers as needed. For the latest and most detailed information, please visit the World Ocean Base map service description or World Ocean Reference tile layer.

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.

The map is designed to be used as a basemap by marine GIS professionals and as a reference map by anyone interested in ocean data. The basemap focuses on bathymetry. It also includes inland waters and roads, overlaid on land cover and shaded relief imagery.

Here is a direct link to a pristine ArcGIS Online web map with this basemap all loaded and ready to go; a blank canvas!Blank?Did you ever make a sweet map with loads of layers and data and the whole of it was so information-dense that the basemap behind it all was just unnecessary noise? Me too. Nothing against basemaps—they serve a noble purpose of providing spatial context to whatever phenomenon you are mapping. But sometimes your data is sufficient to make a basemap superfluous. Here is a little hack that you can use. A basemap to end all basemaps, as it were. Tile after tile of lightning-fast lightweight nothingness. It's like the Seinfeld of basemaps. A basemap about nothing.HELLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO! LA LA LAAAAA!Here is a picture of this basemap:Pretty nice, right? Ok, if you want a different color no problem. Here is a link to the vector tile style editor, which will let you paint this big blank canvas whatever color you like: https://developers.arcgis.com/vector-tile-style-editor/e3ac9818c0c344538840e51e9f33f6cc/layersHappy Minimalist Mapping!

The Charted Territory Map (World Edition) web map provides a customized world basemap uniquely symbolized. It takes its inspiration from a printed atlas plate and pull-down scholastic classroom maps. The map emphasizes the geographic and political features in the design. The use of country level polygons are preassigned with eight different colors. It also includes the global graticule features as well as landform labels of physical features and hillshade. This basemap, included in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World, uses the Charted Territory vector tile layer and World Hillshade. The vector tile layer in this web map is built using the same data sources used for other Esri Vector Basemaps. For details on data sources contributed by the GIS community, view the map of Community Maps Basemap Contributors. Esri Vector Basemaps are updated monthly.Use this MapThis map is designed to be used as a basemap for overlaying other layers of information or as a stand-alone reference map.

This basemap was designed with the Vizzuality team for use in the Half-Earth Project globe. The saturated palette and rich landcover tones are meant to engage an audience and to provide the sense that the earth is a charming and beautiful place worthy of thoughtful stewardship. As you zoom in, the saturated basemap is slowly replaced by imagery.This basemap is the major component of the Vibrant Map. The Vibrant Map is configured to use these basemap tiles from global to regional extents, then transition to Esri's World Imagery basemap tiles for a seamless transition from small to large scale.Find more information about this basemap, and its contributing data, here: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping/creating-the-half-earth-vibrant-basemap/Learn more about the Half-Earth Project here and explore highlighted areas of biodiversity here.Happy Mapping!
