Since LeafletJS seems to be what all of the cool kids are using these days and it shows no signs of slowing down, I thought that it would be fun to figure out how to use Leaflet to view AGRC's awesome base map services. This presented a unique challenge since they are not in a projection that is supported out-of-the-box by Leaflet (UTM Zone 12 NAD83). However, I found that it is possible with the help of a few additional JavaScript libraries. So, here's the solution:
ESRI-Leaflet & ArcGIS Basemaps
You'll notice that I've loaded these libraries in addition to the latest version of Leaflet:
The implementation was not that complex once I got all of the numbers right. First I create a new Proj4Leaflet coordinate reference system which I pass into the map constructor. Then I use the Esri-Leaflet Plugin to set up a new TiledMapLayer and add it to the map.
Now you can be one of the cool kids too!
