Community content added to Esri's online basemaps

Large-scale content continues to pour into the online basemaps. Over 160 million features added to the Community Maps database so far this year!

This basemap release includes new Community Map contributions to the World Topographic and World Imagery Map and updates to the World Street Map. Areas with new and updated content include several cities and counties in the United States and areas within the United Kingdom.

These contributions help enhance content in the Living Atlas of the World through the Community Maps Program and add value and usability to Esri’s online basemaps. These compelling examples speak for themselves.
