About this dataset

This layer portrays elevation as an artistic hillshade. The map is designed to be used as a backdrop for topographical, soil, hydro, landcover or other outdoor recreational maps. It’s a default relief background in various basemaps such as Topographic, Terrain with Labels. The map is compiled from a variety of data sources from commercial, community maps and many authoritative organizations across the globe. The basemap has global coverage down to a scale of ~1:72k. In the United States, parts of Europe, Asia and Africa coverage goes down to ~1:9k.  To see the coverage and sources of various datasets comprising this map layer, view the World Elevation Coverage Map. Additionally, this layer uses data from Vantor’s Precision 3D Digital Terrain Models for parts of the globe. The map is based on the Multi-directional hillshade algorithm.

Human Geography Dark Base

This vector tile layer presents the Human Geography Dark Base style (World Edition) and provides a simple vector basemap for the world symbolizing the land with a very dark gray, neutral background style. It is designed to be used with the Human Geography Dark Label and Human Geography Dark Detail layers (or other editions of these layers). This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization, high-resolution display, and use in mobile devices. This vector tile layer 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. This layer is used in the Human Geography Dark Map web map included in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. See the Vector Basemaps group for other vector tile layers.  Customize this Style Learn more about customizing this vector basemap style using the Vector Tile Style Editor. Additional details are available in ArcGIS Online Blogs and the Esri Vector Basemaps Reference Document.

Environment Base

This vector tile layer presents the Environment Base style (World Edition) and is designed for use as a base layer to support environment related content. It deemphasizes human elements and focuses more prominently on landscape features. Features include vegetation, parks, farming areas, open space, indigenous lands, military bases, bathymetry, large scale contours, and elevation values. This layer is designed for use with the Environment Detail and Label, Environment Surface Water and Label, and Environment Watersheds to combine into one unified basemap. This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display.  This multisource vector tile layer 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. This layer is used in the Environment Map web map included in ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.

OpenStreetMap Streets with Relief (WGS84)

Mature Support Notice: This item is in mature support as of December 2024. A new version of this item is available for your use. Esri recommends updating your maps and apps to use the new version. See blog for more information. This web map presents a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data hosted by Esri. This version of the map is rendered in a style similar to the Esri Street Map (with Relief). It includes the World Hillshade layer. Created from the sunsetted Daylight map distribution, data updates supporting this layer are no longer available. OpenStreetMap 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.  Precise Tile Registration: The tile layer uses the improved tiling scheme “WGS84 Geographic, Version 2” to ensure proper tile positioning at higher resolutions (neighborhood level and beyond). The new tiling scheme is much more precise than tiling schemes of the legacy basemaps Esri released years ago. We recommend that you start using this new basemap for any new web maps in WGS84 that you plan to author.   Due to the number of differences between the old and new tiling schemes, some web clients will not be able to overlay tile layers in the old and new tiling schemes in one web map.
