Esri Updates World Topographic Map with Community Contributions

By Shane Matthews

This basemap release includes new Community Map contributions to the World Topographic Map. Areas with new and updated content include several cities, counties and facility sites in the United States and the country of Suriname.

Much of this release includes 32 counties in the state of Missouri, where the Community Maps Team has added thousands of building footprints.

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. Click on the images below for a detailed view.
