I highly recommend investigating the amazing and beautiful new National Geographic map in teaching, learning, and beyond. This is one of the rapidly expanding set of vector tile maps available to you, and this one presents different wonders and delights at different scales. At smaller scales, a new cached base layer has been created, the National Geographic Style Base. It blends our multi-directional hillshade with a specially prepared version of the Esri/USGS Ecophysiographic Land Units Map. For more information on the science behind ELUs, see this link. At mid-scales, the ELUs give way to a single tone land color. The hillshade continues into large scale, matching the coverage seen on other basemaps such as Topographic. To find out more about this map, see this essay from my colleague at Esri: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-living-atlas/mapping/meet-the-national-geographic-s...
To access the map, you have two options:

This map contains both of the above 2 map items in a combined format, and is shown below.
