Description:

This map presents medium to high resolution imagery for various locations around the world assembled from members of the ArcGIS user community. The map is meant to overlay and supplement other base imagery available through the World Imagery service, which presents a seamless mosaic of 15m imagery for the world and 1–2m imagery for the United States. In many areas, the imagery presented in this map is more detailed or more current than the imagery assembled in the World Imagery seamless mosaic. A specialty coverage overlay map (CSP_Imagery_Coverage_2D) can be used with the World Imagery Service to illustrate at small scales where high resolution imagery is available in the World User Imagery map at large scales.

The imagery presented in this map currently features high resolution imagery for the following areas:

  • Portugal
  • The Channel Islands, United Kingdom
  • The State of Massachusetts
  • The State of Pennsylvania
  • York County, South Carolina
  • San Bernardino County, California
  • San Diego County, California (2007 fire areas)
  • Ventura, California
  • Post Hurricane Ike imagery for the Galveston, Texas, area

Additional imagery will be added to this map on a regular basis as it is made available to ESRI through the ArcGIS Online Content Sharing Program (CSP) and processed.

For details on the coverage in this map, view the list of Current ArcGIS Online Content Sharing Program contributors.

This map is metadata-enabled. With the Identify tool in ArcMap or in Web mapping applications, you can see the resolution, collection date, and source of the imagery at the location you click. The metadata applies only to the best available imagery at that location. You may need to zoom in to view the best available imagery.
