Environment Base

This vector tile layer presents the Environment Watersheds style (World Edition) and was designed to show global watershed boundary lines. Map features in the layer are from the HydroSHEDS v1 dataset. This layer is designed for use with the Environment Base, Environment Detail and Label, and Environment Surface Water and Label to combine into one unified basemap. This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display. 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 Environment 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.

This vector tile layer presents the Human Geography Base style (World Edition) and provides a simple vector basemap for the world symbolizing the land with a light gray, neutral background style. It is designed to be used with the Human Geography Detail and Human Geography Label 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 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 presents the Enhanced Contrast Base style (World Edition) and provides the base layer for a basemap that aims to meet the requirements of the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) AA standard, and US Government Section 508 compliance. This layer includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, parks, landmarks and building footprints. It is designed to be used with the Enhanced Contrast Reference layer that includes administrative boundaries and all labels, but it can also be used separately. Map detail is built using a hierarchy with a higher contrast than usual, and with color-vision-deficient-safe colors. This vector tile layer provides unique capabilities for customization, high-resolution display, and use in mobile devices.

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.
