Human Geography 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 tile layer presents a vector basemap of OpenStreetMap (OSM) data hosted by Esri. This version of the map is rendered in a light neutral style with minimal colors.  It is designed for use with OpenStreetMap Light Gray Canvas Reference.  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.
