Ward layer for Somerville, MA no longer available?

Question

Hello,

For the past few years I've used this link (https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html) to identify which administrative ward an address is located in for Somerville, MA. I haven't used the map in several months and when I tried clicking on it today it said, "Unable to add layer. Item does not exist or is inaccessible." When I tried entering an address for Somerville the ward layer did not show up.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yeah, as Tim links, it's pretty easy. Just copy the second URL I posted (the one that ends with a zero) and then in your map viewer, click the plus symbol in the upper left and select "Add Layer from URL" and paste in the URL you copied. That will then add it to your map and you can adjust symbology and popups as you see fit.

Hi @SamanthaWolfe ,

The following documentation may be helpful to you. It talks about the various ways layers can be added to maps in Map Viewer: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/add-layers-mv.htm

Oh wow, thanks for this! I don't know how to add a layer to these maps (I'm just a user, not a coder!) but maybe I can find someone else who knows how.
