Service Description: Topographic hillshade can provide important context for your map. This Generalized Terrain & Bathymetry tiled hillshade layer is intended to provide a smooth global/regional sense of the terrain and bathymetry, like the manually airbrushed styles of cartographers from decades past.

If you'd like a crisp detailed terrain hillshade, consider World Hillshade tiles. Generalized Terrain & Bathymetry works well in addition to that finer-grained World Hillshade.

This tile layer was derived from GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) elevations, and processed as hillshade of generalized scales in ArcGIS Pro in a manner similar to what is described in this how-to video: https://youtu.be/-sitCuwXAaE

For a high-resolution compliment suitable at large scales (zoomed in) consider this GEBCO Shaded Relief 2022 tile layer. Find more GEBCO products in Living Atlas.
