I have a railroad line and would like to display 60+ USGS historical maps as background. Ideally, in ArcGIS online, these tiff files can be turned on and off, and their transparency levels modified. See attached image for a snapshot of the maps in ArcMap. If they all have to be On, that's fine. But their transparency level does need to be modifiable by the user. There are different references online to how to display a tiff on ArcGIS online. I also thought I read once that I can directly connect to the USGS server? What's the recommended way to go about this? I'm new to ArcGIS online.

ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1 (ArcMap) I have a label that I have set up as river placement. But I want to shift the label left, so it's centered on the line, versus the right side. See image. What field should I change in the label tool? I've tried various ones without success. I want the word Central Pacific to go around the curve.

ArcGIS Desktop 10.6.1 I have a polyline (old railroad track). I'd like to add the train stops as points along it by clicking on the places. I have georeferenced historical maps as the background and can see the train stops on it. In the construct points along a line, I have to select distances or equal distance, etc. I don't see an option for clicking. If I just generate points (create a new point file and just click), then then points may not be on the line. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thank you, but I am not talking about drop shadows that I would add as a user for aesthetic purposes. I am referring to the the overall layout page's drop shadow that ArcGIS adds. I just figured it out myself (somehow posting makes me realize the answer, this has happened before :-)). It's the Print setting. See attached. If it's selected to Use printer paper setting, you get the drop shadow. If unclicked, no shadow.

I recall reading that the drop shadow in the ArcMap layout view had some significance (whether some parameter was set or not), but I cannot recall the meaning. Image shows the area I am asking about.
