This map provides 15-meter TerraColor imagery for the polar region of Antarctica.

Arctic Imagery

Arctic Imagery basemap

This map provides 15-meter TerraColor imagery for the Arctic polar region.

Arctic Ocean Base

Arctic Ocean Base

This map includes bathymetry overlaid on land-cover and shaded relief for the Arctic polar region.

World Hillshade

World Hillshade map

This map portrays elevation as an artistic hillshade.

World Hillshade (Dark)

World Hillshade (Dark) basemap

This map portrays elevation as an artistic hillshade and provides terrain context while highlighting feature layers and labels.

World Imagery

World Imagery basemap

This map is a compilation of satellite and aerial imagery worldwide.

World Ocean Base

World Ocean Base

This map includes bathymetry and inland waters and roads, overlaid on land-cover and shaded relief imagery.

Reference layers

Arctic Ocean Reference

Arctic Ocean Reference layer

This map includes marine water body names, undersea feature names, and derived depth values for use with the Arctic Ocean Base map.

World Elevation

Terrain

Terrain map

This is a world elevation layer composed of multiresolution and multisource elevation data (DTM), which provides access to elevation values and derivatives such as slope, aspect, and hillshade to use in analysis and visualization.

Terrain 3D

Terrain 3D map

This is a world elevation surface to use for oblique viewing in scenes in ArcGIS Pro and the ArcGIS Online scene viewer.

Elevation analysis

Profile

Elevation profile tool

The Profile geoprocessing tool calculates profile tables for lines you specify on a global elevation dataset.

Viewshed

Elevation Viewshed analysis layer

The Viewshed geoprocessing tool creates viewshed polygons for observation points you specify on a global elevation dataset.

Locators

World Places Locator

World Places Locator

This locator enables you to geocode various types of places around the world. It references a geodatabase of more than 30 million places including countries, states and provinces, administrative areas (for example, counties), cities, landmarks, water bodies, and more.

Legacy

National Geographic World Map

National Geographic World Map

This map is designed to be used as a general reference map for informational and educational purposes as well as a basemap by GIS professionals and other users.

USA Topographic Maps

USA Topographic Maps

This map presents land-cover imagery for the world and detailed topographic maps for the United States at various scales.

World Boundaries and Places

World Boundaries and Places reference layer

This map includes country boundaries, first-order (state/province) internal administrative boundaries for most countries, and place-names for the world. The map is designed to be overlaid on imagery basemaps.

World Boundaries and Places Alternate

World Boundaries and Places Alternate reference layer

This map includes country boundaries, first-order (state/province) internal administrative boundaries for most countries, and place-names for the world. The map is designed to be overlaid on lighter backgrounds such as shaded relief basemaps.

World Dark Gray Base

World Dark Gray Base

This map draws attention to your thematic content by providing a neutral background with minimal colors, labels, and features.

World Dark Gray Reference

World Dark Gray Reference layer

This map provides labels for selected cities and towns around the world, in support of the World Dark Gray Base map.​

World Light Gray Base

World Light Gray Base

This basemap provides a neutral background for your data with minimal colors, labels, and features.

World Light Gray Reference

World Light Gray Reference layer

This reference map provides labels for selected cities and towns around the world in support of World Light Gray Base.

World Ocean Reference

World Ocean Reference layer

This map includes surface and subsurface feature names and derived depths for use with the World Ocean Base map.

World Physical Map

World Physical Map

This map presents the Natural Earth physical map for the world.

World Street Map

World Street Map

This map presents a street map with highway-level data for the world and detailed streets in many populated areas of the world.

World Topographic Map

World Topographic Map

This map includes administrative boundaries, cities, water features, physiographic features, parks, landmarks, highways, roads, railways, and airports.

World Transportation

World Transportation reference layer

This map presents transportation data—including highways, roads, railroads, and airports—for the world. This map should be overlaid on imagery basemaps.
