How to Clip/Edit/Restrict Imagery Layer to Only be Visible around the Point's Radius

I am looking to find a solution to creating buffers around points (plot site locations) that only show the base layer imagery within a defined distance. I need to create a field maps tile package that is not huge size wise. So I would like to only show the imagery layer for only 1 mile around each point. Beyond that distance I would like to show either no imagery or just a basic base layer. (Such as state boundary lines or a simple topography). I do not want to show detailed imagery for the entire state of Alaska. I would only like to show detailed imagery around my points in order to make the project a smaller file size. 

How can I edit/clip/restrict the imagery layer to only appear around a predetermined perimeter around the points. So if there are 500 points the project will only show detailed imagery layer around the 500 point's 1 mile radius.

Maybe this will help: 

If needed, you may be able to create a buffer layer of 1 mile around your features and then clip the map based on that buffer layer. Sounds like you may have already thought of this option, but I thought I'd mention incase I'm misunderstanding.
