Basemaps
A basemap provides a background of geographical context for the content you want to display in a map. NJOGIS provides cached basemap map services for public use in maps and applications. NJOGIS makes every effort to include the best available NJ data in these basemaps. These services are optimized for fast display performance and can scale to a high number of simultaneous users without a degradation in performance. These services are available as both ArcGIS REST and WMTS.
NJOGIS also provides historical (early 1900s) basemaps and USGS topographical basemaps available as WMS. PLEASE NOTE: There are size limits on images requested from our WMS. The maximum image width and length is 3840 x 3840 pixels.

The color basemap provides pre-rendered symbology that incorporates basic map features to provide a background on which other data layers can be overlain. Vivid color symbology is used to readily distinguish basemap features. The basemap features render in greater detail at larger scales.

The grayscale basemap provides pre-rendered symbology that incorporates basic map features to provide a background on which other data layers can be overlain. Muted grayscale symbology is used to more readily distinguish overlain features. The basemap features render in greater detail at larger scales.
