The styles are based roughly on the Human Geography basemap, with base, detail, and reference layers. I have included a combined (not visible) layer in the web map as an alternative.<\/p>\n

They are available to you on the same basis as the original set:<\/p>\n

They are\u00a0creative prototypes<\/strong>,<\/a> but they are available for you to use with your maps (They are also included in the ArcGIS Living Atlas<\/a><\/strong>). Because they are prototypes, I make no claims about the accuracy of the information included.<\/p>\n

Of course, you are free to make style changes to a copy of my map styles, or to use them as a starting point for anything else you may want to do. The links above are to the web maps. Open them, navigate to the details page, select the individual layers, then open them into the Vector Tile Style Editor<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For as long as I host the projected tile packages your maps will be available online.

He has been working with Esri in Redlands for 16 years, most recently on the creation of some of Esri's vector basemaps, and the development of color ramps for ArcGIS Online. Prior to Esri, he was Manager of Cartographic Design at Rand McNally, and before that a Senior Cartographer at GeoSystems\/MapQuest. He is originally from England, and worked for a number of years at what is now the University of Derby before moving to the USA.
