The ArcGIS Content Team has just completed another update to the Living Atlas of the World<\/a>. The user community has provided new and updated World Topographic Map<\/a>\u00a0content for cities, counties and universities in the United States, Canada, and Japan.\u00a0Another thanks to our users and partners who are supporting\u00a0Community Basemaps<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Applied Use – Topographic Map Updates, Useful Maps and Applications<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Our newest contributor is Alachua County, FL<\/strong>\u00a0(Topo 1:9k to 1:1k).<\/p>\n

[iframe width=”600″ height=”350″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ src=”http:\/\/arcgis-content.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/Embed\/index.html?webmap=b08933c8f3fc42b8a3335b8f239e36f9&amp;extent=-82.3375,29.6444,-82.308,29.6596&amp;zoom=true&amp;scale=true&amp;theme=light”][\/iframe]<\/p>\n

The Alachua County Growth Management Department is leveraging the ArcGIS Platform<\/a> quite well by creating feature layers, web maps and applications<\/a> that include topics like land use, preservation, public schools and zones, recreation amenities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here ‘s an example…<\/p>\n

Alachua County Bike Lanes and Paved Shoulders\u00a0<\/strong>This data set contains roadways having bike lanes or shoulders accommodating to bicycle traffic, or designated for improvements including adding bike lanes. This data set corresponds with the existing and future bike lanes in the map “Bike\/Pedestrian Existing & Future Network” which is part of the Transportation Mobility Element in the Alachua County Comprehensive Plan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alachua County is also contributing content to ArcGIS Open Data<\/a>, where anyone can search across the entire community of shared open data.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jacksonville, FL<\/strong> (Topo 1:9k to 1:1k)\u00a0is another new contributor.<\/p>\n

[iframe width=”600″ height=”350″ frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” marginheight=”0″ marginwidth=”0″ src=”http:\/\/arcgis-content.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/Embed\/index.html?webmap=da3ac66543484e8283f15983e04b936b&amp;extent=-81.6633,30.3274,-81.6485,30.3349&amp;zoom=true&amp;scale=true&amp;theme=light”][\/iframe]<\/p>\n

This is a good example of applied use of demographic content. Jacksonville can use this information in the context of their contributed basemap data.\u00a0The Child Opportunity Index<\/a> is calculated based on Education, Health & Built Environment and Neighborhood Social & Economic Opportunity indicators.<\/p>\n

The Gateway to Yellowstone National Park,\u00a0Red Lodge, MT\u00a0<\/strong>(Topo 1:9k to 1:1k) has also contributed new content.<\/p>\n
