Blank Africa map and labeled map of Africa

Three maps of the 54 countries of Africa to print: a blank map with the borders, a labeled map, and a numbered map with an answer key on page 2.

The maps include South Sudan, independent since 2011, and Eswatini, called Swaziland until 2018. Island countries too small to see at this scale, such as Mauritius and the Seychelles, are marked with a small circle.

Areas outlined in grey are not on this map’s list, so they carry no name or number.

Print the PDF at 100% or with “Fit to page”: every sheet keeps a margin for any printer. The PNG is a 300 dpi image of the same sheet, for screens, slides and quick printing.

The borders come from Natural Earth and, for the US states, from the US Census Bureau; both are in the public domain.
