Description: This map service draws 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. This dark gray map supports bright colors, creating a visually compelling map graphic, which helps your reader see the patterns intended.
