I am looking through GitHub resources to see if I can get a better understanding of creating custom widgets. I came across this GitHub and was confused on the service that he used. He is able to use a service that brings in data from Minnesota counties and display them. What service is that? I am trying to mimic his widget to my own. For example, I want to zoom into cities within the Sacramento County and display a result just like what he did. This is confusing me a lot. I am trying to understand his logic of using that service. Like how is he getting the data and where? Is it a service made already by Esri?
Here are his links:

2018GISLIS/widget3.md at master · paulhedlund/2018GISLIS · GitHub
I have attached his widget for visual and code reference.
