Import Layers
The Import Layers tool allows you to import GIS layers into your stored custom map profile.
To get started, look for the Import Layers button located at the top of your Layer Legend.
By default, your map will be setup with all available Parcels, important base layers such as BLM/PLSS, Boundaries, FEMA, and Roads.
When you click on Import Layers, a dialog box will open where you can then find even more layers.
Note, your map area scale will affect your layer search results. When you open the Import Layers dialog box, the available layers shown intersect your current map view, but might not have features at this location. To see layers for a different view, zoom to a new location and refresh this list.

Typing into the search bar will help narrow your results. For example, typing in the layer group of USGS/Contours will only show me this specific layer.
Once you have found a layer you are interested in. You should look for the two buttons located to the left of that layer.
The Layer Info button will give you extra information about this layer. Here you will see the information populated from the agency the layer originates. If a copyright exists on the layer, it will also be displayed here.
The Request for Import button will import this layer to your map. You should see a pop up dialog box indicating the successful import. The imported layer will show up in your Layer Legend. Note, to remove the layer, you must right click on the imported layer and select remove.
