On QGIS 3.2 I add, through the XYZ Tiles tab in the browser, this URL:
http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/USA_Topo_Maps/MapServer/tile/$z/$y/$x.jpg
All that is displayed when it is added as a layer is a page of postage stamp size (5x5) pictures of the entire world. Moving or zooming simply refreshes the same view of a 5x5 squares of the world. I've tried this a number of ways and all FAIL. Any suggestions would be helpful.
The goal is to have USGS Topo Maps as a base map.

You can use QuickMapServices plugin. Just type USA in search field. It will create XYZ provider for you.

services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/USA_Topo_Maps/…z/y/x Works for me also. I added it thru the XYZ Tiles tab in the Browser. I was trying $(x} and x=x and did not use type=xyz&url=http.... This time, I just used your exact link above and it came up quickly. Do you know if and how to parameterize the request, say, to start at a certain viewpoint? Have any ideas on how to do the Historic Topos? Thank you very much. Your help is appreciated.
