I'm very much a beginner to ArcMap. Is there an easy way I can clip the Continental United States from this data layer and get rid of Alaska, Hawaii, and the other islands.



I saw some tutorials using ArcSwat. Would that be a useful option? I have ArcMap 10.6.1 and I know the ArcSwat tool only goes to ArcMap 10.4. I'm using a work computer and am not sure that I would be able to get an older version of ArcMap.

  • Have you tried using a Definition Query? Just right-click the layer in the Table of Contents --> Properties --> Definition Query tab. From there you can exclude or filter out certain features based on their attributes... in this case, something like NAME NOT IN ('Hawaii', 'Alaska')

You won't be able to use Clip to extract a continental US unless you already have another continental US feature. You can, however, Select and Export the features you need.




  1. Choose the Select by Rectangle tool.


enter image description here




  1. With the Select by Rectangle tool, draw a rectangle around the continental US.


enter image description here




  1. After you complete the rectangle, your selected features will be highlighted in cyan.


enter image description here




  1. Right-click on your layer and choose Data/ Export Data....


enter image description here




  1. Choose a suitable output location and feature class. Here, I'm illustrating using a shapefile (.shp) as the feature class storage format. Shapefiles are relatively easy to work with, but they do have certain limitations you may need to address at some point.


enter image description here




  1. When prompted, add the exported data to your map.


enter image description here




  1. Disable (uncheck) your original layer and leave your new layer checked to show only the continental US.
