Layer List

Located in the left panel, the layer list is an interactive map display manipulator that allows you to change the feature layers drawn on the map.

Available Feature Layers
The layer list is a dynamic list that will increase and decrease in size based upon the scale of the map.  Many features are unavailable until you zoom to a larger scale (smaller area).  Layers are visible by default, except for the aerial image layer.  The list of available feature layers may change depending on the scale at which you are viewing the map.
 

Making Feature Layers Visible
Each feature layer in the layer list has a check box to the right of the feature layer name.  If the box is checked, it means the layer is visible on the map.  You can check or un-check the box by clicking on it.  You will not see changes to the map display until you click the button.  Though this application has functionality in other Arc/IMS sites, its utility is negligible here.

Aerial Images
When you zoom in close enough, you can display the aerial photography for the map area. 

Legend
If you are unsure as to how particular features appear on the map, you can use the tool to view the Layer List.  To bring the panel back to the Layer List, click the Legend tool again.
