I manage a mapping system for the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and am trying to retrieve a raster layer but I keep getting this expanding black background/box. 

When I open the mbtiles file in Qgis it looks fine but when I retrieve the file through ArcGisArcGIS either as ana WMTS layer OR the Mapbox instructions for pulling layers into ArcGIS online of "Add > Add Layer from Web > A Tile Layer" there's black box around it that increases in size as as you zoom-out.

Here's some relevant details about my data:

  • The original file was converted from Geotiff to Mbtiles format in TileOven (active Linux fork of TileMill) and then uploaded to Mapbox and styled in mapboxmap box studio.
  • This is not a no-data border in the original geotiff. The original geotiff has only a tiny border that I'm not concerned about concealing.
  • The original geotiff was created using GDAL processing tools in Qgis
  • To convert the file from geotiff to Mbtiles in TileMill I used these instructions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05Et84xIgls
  • I made certain I set extentsextends in TileMill and ArcGIS online.
  • I also tried uploading the Geotiff directly to ArcGIS online and the same thing happens.
  • I'm using TileOven, QGIS 2.18 on Kubuntu 18.04 with KDE Plasma 5.12.6 Software

Mapbox does not have their own forum and I submitted a support request with Mapbox several days ago with no response but would rather share issue here in case it can help someone else.
