Creating a New Map
A map is a project item used to display and work with geographic data in two dimensions. The first step to visualizing any data is creating a new map.
- On the ribbon, click the Insert tab.
- In the Project group, click the New Map button.
You will notice that a new map view opens in the main section of ArcGIS Pro.
The panel on the left side of ArcGIS Pro is called the Contents pane. After creating a new map, the Contents pane now displays the default Map title and automatically adds the Topographic basemap layer to the map.
The panel on the right side of ArcGIS Pro is called the Catalog pane. After creating the first map, a new Maps section has been added to the top of the Project tab within the Catalog pane.
- In the Catalog pane, click the arrow to expand the Maps section.
Notice that there is a single map there, named "Map". Since most projects will have multiple maps, it is a good idea to name your maps with more descriptive titles.
- In the Catalog pane, under the Maps section, right-click Map and select Rename.
- Type "Super Neighborhoods" and hit Enter.
Saving a Project
Any time you create a new project item, such as a map or a layout, or any time you spend time adjusting the symbology of your map layers, it is a good idea to save your project.
- Above the ribbon, on the Quick Access toolbar, click the Save button.
Adding Data to a Map
- Right-click the Census_2010_By_SuperNeighborhood feature class and select Add To Current Map.
- An alternative method of adding data to a map is to click and hold the Major_Roads feature class and drag and drop it into the Super Neighborhoods map view.
