Important Note: This item is in mature support as of July 2021. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version.This layer provides labels for selected cities, towns, and neighborhoods around the world in support of the World Light Gray Base map. Together they draw attention to your thematic content by providing a neutral background with minimal colors, labels, and features. Only key information is represented to provide geographic context, allowing your data to come to the foreground. The World Light Gray Base is designed to be drawn on top of this base map and provides selected city labels throughout the world. This web map lets you view the Light Gray Base with the Reference layer drawn on top. See the Esri Canvas Maps Part I: Author Beautiful Web Maps With Our New Artisan Basemap Sandwich blog post for more information on how to use this map.The map was compiled by Esri using HERE data, Garmin basemap layers, OpenStreetMap data, GIS community data, and Esri basemap data. The map includes worldwide coverage from 1:591M scale to 1:72k scale. More detailed nationwide coverage is included in North America, Europe, Africa, South America and Central America, the Middle East, Pacific Island nations, India, Australia, and New Zealand to be fully consistent with the World Street Map and World Topographic Map down to the 1:9k scale. Data for Africa and Pacific Island nations from ~1:288k to ~1:4k (~1:2k and ~1:1k in select areas) was sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors. Specific country list and documentation of Esri's process for including OSM data is available to view.

This web map provides a detailed vector basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri topographic map style including a shaded relief layer for added context. The web map is very similar in content and style to the popular World Topographic Map, which is 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 comprehensive topographic map 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. The layers in this map are built using the same data sources used for the World Topographic Map and other Esri basemaps. Alignment of boundaries is a presentation of the feature provided by our data vendors and does not imply endorsement by Esri or any governing authority. Updated Map DesignThis style is an update from our raster Topographic style. The land fill and land use opacity was decreased to better emphasize the relief. Land fill polygon changes from white at a small scale to gray tone at larger scales. Labels of a number of feature classes were improved in color, size, and/or spacing. Open water bathymetric colors were improved to allow a smooth transition to scales without the water depth polygons. Road color, line width and effects were adjusted. Overall, additional feature class specifications were changed in conjunction with the land fill opacity change. Use this Map This map is designed to be used as a basemap for overlaying other layers of information or as a stand-alone reference map. You can add layers to this web map and save as your own map. If you like, you can add this web map to a custom basemap gallery for others in your organization to use in creating web maps. If you would like to add this map as a layer in other maps you are creating, you may use the tile layer item referenced in this map. Customize this MapBecause this map includes a vector tile layer, you can customize the map to change its content and symbology. You are able to turn on and off layers, change symbols for layers, switch to alternate local language (in some areas), and refine the treatment of disputed boundaries. See the Vector Basemap group for other vector web maps. For details on how to customize this map, please refer to these articles on the ArcGIS Online Blog.

ESRI DATA: World Countries and World Administrative Areas; 2010 US Census datasets with their new geometry and attributes. Block Group, Tract, County and State are all represented as polygons with over 40 attribute fields containing population totals by age and race, along with family and household information. Census Blocks are represented as points with total population and household information; European demographics datasets, North America Street Map, World Base Maps, mainly topographic data such as roads, lakes, administrative boundaries

This map portrays surface elevation as shaded relief. This map is used as a basemap layer to add shaded relief to other GIS maps, such as the ArcGIS Online World Street Map. It is especially useful in maps that do not contain orthoimagery. The map resolution (cell size) is as follows: 30 Meters for the U.S. 90 Meters for all land areas between 60° north and 56° south latitude. 1 KM resolution above 60° north and 56° south. The shaded relief imagery was developed by ESRI using GTOPO30, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), and National Elevation Data (NED ) data from the USGS.

This topographic map is designed to be used as a basemap and a reference map. The map has been compiled by Esri and the ArcGIS user community from a variety of best available sources. The map is intended to support the ArcGIS Online basemap gallery. For more details on the map, please visit the World Topographic Map service description.

This map presents a tour of the City of Redlands, California using the detailed map of Redlands included in the community basemap. The City of Redlands is located in Southern California, about 65 miles east of Los Angeles. The map tour highlights some of the unique features in the history of Redlands as well as several of the places and events that make it a very livable community today.The map features a detailed basemap for the City of Redlands, California, including buildings, parcels, vegetation, land use, landmarks, streets, and more. The map features special detail for areas of high interest within the City, including local parks, landmarks, and the ESRI campus.The map references detailed GIS data provided by the City of Redlands, Department of Innovation and Technology, GIS Division. The map was authored using map templates available from ESRI, including:Topographic Map Template - Large ScalesCampus Basemap TemplateThe map was published as part of ESRI's Community Maps Program and is one of several detailed maps of cities and counties in the World Topographic Map.

This dynamic World Elevation Terrain (ID = 58a541efc59545e6b7137f961d7de883) layer returns float values representing ground heights in meters and compiles multi-resolution data from many authoritative data providers from across the globe. Heights are orthometric (sea level = 0), and water bodies that are above sea level have approximated nominal water heights. This Group Layer presents the shared transboundary drainage basins between the United States and Canada, offering a visual overview of hydrologic connectivity across the international border. Each basin polygon reflects authoritative delineations from federal and binational sources, providing consistent spatial definitions of major watershed boundaries that flow between both nations.

To provide geographic context, the basin boundaries are overlaid on the Living Atlas World Terrain Shaded Relief basemap. This shaded relief visualization enhances the understanding of basin topography, elevation gradients, and landscape features influencing water flow and watershed delineation.This Group Layer is designed to support cross-border water governance, transboundary watershed management, and policy discussions led by entities such as the International Joint Commission (IJC) and its affiliated Boards and Studies. It may be used as a foundational geographic reference in dashboards, applications, or other GIS analyses that require a harmonized view of U.S.–Canada watershed geography.

Components:

Shared Basin Boundaries Layer (Polygon): Generalized delineations of transboundary basins

Living Atlas World Terrain (Shaded Relief): Provides elevation-based terrain context for intuitive map reading

Use Cases:Visualizing international hydrologic connectivity

Supporting transboundary water policy discussions

Enhancing storytelling in public-facing applications

Providing context for environmental monitoring or modeling initiatives across the U.S.–Canada border
