Esri is proud to offer the Environment Map<\/a>, available across the ArcGIS platform, accessed by clicking on the Basemap dropdown list in both ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro. Most traditional basemaps are human focused, displaying roads, municipal boundaries, and other human-centric\/human created features. The Environment Map is Esri’s first ever Environment focused basemap, designed to let the <\/span>environmental<\/span><\/i> data speak for itself, and more easily expose environmental trends and patterns. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Use this basemap with your physical geography data about the landscape, natural resources, hydrologic features, soils, ecology and other data themes. The neutral backdrop with environmentally relevant features and labels makes it fast and easy to build a powerful and compelling webmap with your data. We are so happy to announce the release of this map as part of the Basemap Gallery and ArcGIS Living Atlas.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":2596352,"id":2596352,"title":"EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75","filename":"EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","filesize":5963735,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-living-atlas\/announcements\/environment-basemap-for-all\/enviromapfinditonlineprosize80optim75","alt":"Watch how to apply the Environment Map in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.","author":"8492","description":"","caption":"Watch how to apply the Environment Map in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro.","name":"enviromapfinditonlineprosize80optim75","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":2596252,"date":"2024-11-20 21:09:12","modified":"2024-11-24 02:21:34","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1531,"height":737,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":223,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":370,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","large-width":1531,"large-height":737,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","1536x1536-width":1531,"1536x1536-height":737,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","2048x2048-width":1531,"2048x2048-height":737,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75-826x398.gif","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":398,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif","wide_image-width":1531,"wide_image-height":737}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/EnviroMapFindiTOnlineProsize80Optim75.gif"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
