Hello

I recently tried to add the basemap 'Topographic' which used to load scanned USGS quads, but now it's something completely different (and not even topographic!) Are the USGS images no longer available?

The typographic basemap was recently updated...

The USGS topographic map service can be found here. You could make this the basemap of your map...

Hi Mike,
I just noticed this update to the "topographic" basemap as well. Is there ANY way that I can retrieve or add the old versions for a short time? Can I get them from a cache or are the archived online through ESRI?

I had utilized these as a basemap for a series of maps (6+ maps) in a report, and now they look different form the few I previously printed. I would hate to have to change all my basemaps and notation, etc.

Thanks in advance-

Chris
