If you only want to display certain layer features in a Map consider using a Display Filter.
Display filters are queries that limit which features of a layer are displayed. Display filters can be determined by scale, or set manually. They differ from definition queries in that display filters impact the display only. The features filtered from the display by display filters are still available for query and analysis. Features filtered by definition queries are not available to the layer at all.
Use display filters when you want to draw a subset of features but you want to retain access to all features. When a display filter is active, all features in the layer remain in the layer's attribute table and can be selected, identified, edited, and be available for geoprocessing operations. But, because only visible features are labeled, display filters affect the labeling of a layer. Display filters are available in 2D maps only.
