Topographic (Contours)

his web map provides a detailed vector basemap for the world symbolized with a classic Esri topographic map style including vector contours and vector hillshade for added context. The web map is very similar in content and style to the popular World Topographic Map, which was delivered as a tile layer with raster fused map cache. This map includes a vector tile layer that provides unique capabilities for customization and high-resolution display. This map includes highways, major roads, minor roads, railways, water features, cities, parks, landmarks, building footprints, administrative boundaries, and shaded relief for added context. The layers in this map are built using the same data sources used for the World Topographic Map and other Esri vector basemaps. The tile layer contains a multisource map style. This map includes vector contour lines and vector hillshade. Even though there are three source paths in the layer's json, these are referenced from a single vector tile layer in this web map. The root.json style file calls three vector Hosted Tile Layers to display all the data in the map. One source (esri) contains all the basemap tiles for this layer. The other source (contours) contains all the contour lines. The third source (hillshade) contains all the relief tiles. Note: the vector World Hillshade layer is in beta and includes global coverage to ~1:72K. In North America and Europe the relief is displayed to full resolution at the largest scales. Use the Map Viewer (not Classic) to view all the features in this layer as intended.
