Through the Community Maps Program organizations contribute their local geographic content which is published and freely-hosted by Esri. Everything from basemap layers such as parks and trees, to imagery and stream gauge data can be contributed.<\/p>\n

Detailed large-scale basemap layers and high-resolution imagery shared to the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World are what set Basemaps in ArcGIS<\/a> apart from other mapping APIs.<\/p>\n

When I speak with local governments, regional council of governments, universities and other like organizations that provide their local authoritative content through the Community Maps Program, I tell them to let the basemaps on ArcGIS Online truly reflect their communities. I encourage them to empower themselves and contribute to a trusted foundation that helps them accomplish their work, helps them create better web maps and applications, and deliver better resources to their citizens. Below are a few examples of how these maps can be transformed when ‘local-knowledge geography’ is added.<\/p>\n
