Community Maps World Topographic Vector Tiles with Custom Areas of Interest

A vector tile layer provides a customized world basemap uniquely symbolized to display special areas of interest. It is built from data sources used for Esri's World Topographic Map and other basemaps, contributed by the Community Maps program. The dataset is hosted by the City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub and was last updated on 2026-05-27.

Use Cases

• Create specialized topographic maps based on community-contributed landscaping features like grass, trees, and rock.
• Visualize and analyze sports infrastructure based on symbolized amenities such as tennis courts and field lines.
• Develop custom basemaps for specific regions by overlaying the symbolized vector tiles with other geospatial data.

Strengths

• Data is integrated with Esri's World Topographic Map sources, suggesting a foundation of established cartographic data.
• Includes community-edited features, which may provide localized detail not found in standard basemaps.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and an ArcGIS REST API.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and completeness of community contributions require manual inspection after download.
• Row count and specific spatial extents for the custom areas of interest are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
