This vector tile layer presents the World Topographic Map (with Contours and Hillshade) style (World Edition) and provides a basemap for the world, symbolized with a classic Esri topographic map style, including both vector contour lines and vector hillshade. This layer includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, and administrative boundaries. This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display.This is a multisource vector map style. The root.json style file calls three vector tile services to display all the data in the map. The "esri" source contains all the basemap tiles for this layer. The other two sources are "contours" and "hillshade". Click the View style button on right to see the json.

his web map provides a detailed vector basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri topographic map style including vector contours and vector hillshade for added context. The web map is very similar in content and style to the popular World Topographic Map, which was delivered as a tile layer with raster fused map cache. This map includes a vector tile layer that provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display. This map includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, administrative boundaries, and shaded relief for added context. The layers in this map are built using the same data sources used for the World Topographic Map and other Esri vector basemaps. The tile layer contains a multisource map style. This map includes vector contour lines and vector hillshade. Even though there are three source paths in the layer's json, these are referenced from a single vector tile layer in this web map. The root.json style file calls three vector Hosted Tile Layers to display all the data in the map. One source (esri) contains all the basemap tiles for this layer. The other source (contours) contains all the contour lines. The third source (hillshade) contains all the relief tiles. Note: the vector World Hillshade layer is in beta and includes global coverage to ~1:72K. In North America and Europe the relief is displayed to full resolution at the largest scales. Use the Map Viewer (not Classic) to view all the features in this layer as intended.

This vector tile layer is designed to support exporting small volumes of basemap tiles for offline use. The content of this layer is equivalent to World Topographic Map. This layer includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, and administrative boundaries, designed for use with shaded relief for added context. See World Topographic Map for more details.Use this MapThis vector tile service supporting this layer will enable you to export a small number of tiles in a single request. This layer is not intended to be used to display live map tiles for use in a web map or web mapping application. To display map tiles, please use World Topographic Map.Service Information for DevelopersTo export tiles for World Topographic Map (for Export), you must use the instance of the World_Basemap_Export_v2 service hosted on basemaps.arcgis.com referenced by this layer (see URL in Contents below), which has the Export Tiles operation enabled. This layer is optimized to minimize the size of the download for offline use. Due to this optimization, there are small differences between this layer and the display optimized World_Basemap_v2 service. This layer is intended to support export of basemap tiles for offline use in ArcGIS applications and other applications built with an ArcGIS Runtime SDK.

This map presents land cover and detailed topographic maps for the United States. It uses the USA Topographic Map service. The map includes the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Earth physical map at 1.24km per pixel for the world at small scales, i-cubed eTOPO 1:250,000-scale maps for the contiguous United States at medium scales, and National Geographic TOPO! 1:100,000 and 1:24,000-scale maps (1:250,000 and 1:63,000 in Alaska) for the United States at large scales. The TOPO! maps are seamless, scanned images of United States Geological Survey (USGS) paper topographic maps.

The maps provide a very useful basemap for a variety of applications, particularly in rural areas where the topographic maps provide unique detail and features from other basemaps.

The USGS Elevation Contours service from The National Map displays contours generated for the United States at various scales. Small-scale contours were created by USGS TNM from 1 arc-second data with 100-meter contours, and are visible at 1:600,000 and smaller scales. Medium-scale contours were created by USGS EROS from 1/3-arc-second data with 100-foot intervals, and are visible between 1:150,000 and 1:600,000. Additional medium-scale contours were created by USGS EROS from 1/3-arc-second data with 50-foot intervals, and are visible between 1:50,000 and 1:150,000. Large scale contours are updated every quarter, and are created by USGS TNM for the 7.5' 1:24,000-scale US Topo digital map series. These contours are derived from 1/3 arc-second or better resolution data, and are visible at scales 1:50,000 and larger. Large scale contour intervals are variable across the United States depending on complexity of topography, and as contours are generated per US Topo quadrangle, lines may not match across quad boundaries. The National Map download client allows free downloads of public domain contour data in either Esri File Geodatabase or Shapefile formats. The 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) provides elevation data for The National Map and basic elevation information for earth science studies and mapping applications. Scientists and resource managers use elevation data for global change research, hydrologic modeling, resource monitoring, mapping and visualization, and many other applications.

Spatial coverage index compiled by East View Geospatial of set "Global AMS 1:250,000 Scale Topographic Maps". Source data from AMS (publisher). Type: Topographic. Scale: 1:250,000.

The International Map of the World (IMW) series is no longer maintained, and printed copies of this map are no longer available. The Australian portion of the series consists of 49 maps. They were produced to an international specification using the R502 series at 1:250,000 scale as source material. Production commenced in 1926 and was completed in 1978. The maps were revised from time to time and the last reprint was undertaken in 2003. Each standard map sheet covers 4 degrees of latitude by 6 degrees of longitude and was produced using a Lambert Conformal Conic projection with 2 standard parallels. The series has recently been superseded by the 1:1 000 000 topographic map general reference.
