Show/Hide Map Layers:

You can edit which may layers display or hide to help customize your map.  Click on the three-bar button on the right to open the map editing tools and select "Customize Map."   

 

Customize map 1

 

This will open an extensive list of layers in the map.  You can click specific layers "off" to hide them from displaying. 

 

Costumize map 2

 

For example, if you are creating a map of the US for a project, you might choose to hide world water, world capitals and world country labels for a cleaner, focused view of America.

After:
