Map Service Name: World_Boundaries_and_Places
Description:This map presents country boundaries, first-order (state/province) internal administrative boundaries for most countries, second-order administrative boundaries for the United States (counties) and some countries in Europe, and place-names for the world. Alignment of boundaries is a presentation of the features provided by our data vendors and does not imply endorsement by Esri or any governing authority.
The map was developed by Esri using administrative and cities data from Esri; Garmin basemap layers for the world; HERE data for North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Central America, Africa, India, and most of the Middle East; OpenStreetMap data for some features in select African countries and Pacific Islands; and feature names from the GIS user community. Specific country list and documentation of Esri's process for including OSM data is in OSM Data Usage in Esri's ArcGIS Online Basemaps (PDF).
Select data for the World Boundaries and Places Map is provided by the GIS community. For details on data sources in this map service, view the list of Contributors for the World Boundaries and Places Map (PDF).
