The second quarter Esri Community Maps basemap release reflects the contributions of more than 170 participating organizations from around the world. Together, these organizations have helped improve map content across four continents, providing updated authoritative data for counties, cities, and campus areas that millions of people rely on every day.
From local governments maintaining road networks and addressing, to universities updating campus infrastructure, each contribution helps ensure Esri’s basemaps remain accurate, current, and authoritative.
Why Authoritative Data Matters
The best maps begin with the organizations that know their communities best.
When organizations contribute directly to the Esri Community Maps Program, they provide authoritative geographic information that improves the quality of the global basemap. These updates support better decision-making, more accurate analysis, and improved map experiences for users across industries including government, public safety, utilities, education, business, and environmental management.
Every updated street, trail, building footprint, park, or address point helps create a more complete and trusted representation of the places where people live, work, and explore.
A Global Effort
This quarter’s release highlights contributions spanning four continents, demonstrating the strength of the Community Maps Program as a worldwide partnership. Updates include improvements for:
- Counties and regional governments
- Cities and municipalities
- University and college campuses
- Other authoritative organizations maintaining high-quality geographic data
Each organization plays an important role in ensuring the world’s most widely used basemaps continue to evolve alongside the communities they represent.
Your Contributions Make a Difference
Whether your organization contributes through feature services or file geodatabases, every submission matters.
Each dataset is carefully reviewed and integrated into Esri’s basemaps, where it becomes part of a trusted geographic foundation used by millions of ArcGIS users worldwide. By sharing authoritative data, contributors help improve not only their own community, but also the mapping experience for people everywhere.
