Data and Maps for ArcGIS (2015) is now available!

Data and Maps is a collection of ready-to-use maps and data layers, including a variety of basemap and thematic layers for the United States, Europe, and the world.

There is commercial data from TomTom, Michael Bauer Research, DeLorme, and Esri; and federal data from the U.S. Census, The National Map Small Scale (formerly National Atlas of the United States), and the U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Please consult the Redistribution Rights document to determine the redistribution rights for each dataset.

The official name is Data and Maps for ArcGIS (formerly Esri Data & Maps) but its group name on ArcGIS.com will remain Esri Data & Maps.

Census Table

Included with this release are updated versions of the 2010 U.S. Census datasets with their attributes and projected current year population. Block Group, Tract, County, and State are all represented as polygons with over 40 attribute fields containing population totals by age and race, along with family and household information.

World Administrative Areas
World Countries and World Administrative Areas datasets are modified to better reflect perceived country extents. Both of these are based on the DeLorme commercial basemap product containing detailed geometry and useful attributes. Other datasets that are updated with the latest from DeLorme include Airports, Elevation Contours, Linear Water, Water Bodies, Populated Places, Railroads, and Roads.

Many other datasets are updated to the most current versions available. This includes for the United States, all TomTom census, transportation, and landmark layers, and most federal data layers; and for Europe, the NUTS (Nomenclature des Unités Territoriales Statistiques) aggregated socioeconomic and demographic layers.

Tip:

To view full metadata in ArcGIS Pro, add the Data and Maps dataset as a Database: In the Project pane, click the small gray arrow next to the Databases folder to expand it. Right-click Databases and choose Add Database. Once the database appears, click the small gray arrow next to it, right-click on its feature class, and choose View Metadata.

The Esri Data & Maps group on ArcGIS.com provides immediate online access to layer packages that include over 100 ready-to-use datasets with ArcGIS layer (.lyr) files. Use the layers’ symbolization as they are, or add the data to a project and symbolize it differently.

Data and Maps for ArcGIS as part of the ArcGIS electronic software delivery (ESD) provides all the datasets, ArcGIS layer (.lyr) files, map documents (.mxd), and group layers (.lyr) for each geographic area with scale-dependent rendering and labeling of symbolized maps.

The complete 2015 Data and Maps collection requires 3.9 GB of disk space.
