Blank map of Cuba
The outline, free as a PNG, SVG or PDF. Label it, colour it in or drop it into a slide.
Using a blank map of Cuba
A blank map of Cuba is most useful as a layer: the shape goes under something you have written, drawn or tracked. This page supplies that layer as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG or a PDF for A4 or Letter. Outline only is the country alone. With borders draws its 16 administrative areas inside it.
Under a tracker
Put the PNG at the back of a slide and use your presentation software's shapes to show progress: a coloured fill on each area a team has covered, with a small text box beside it. A transparent background means the outline takes the slide's colour and nothing hides your shapes.
Under a heading
With 16 areas drawn in, With borders is a detailed backdrop. Lightened and set behind a heading, it gives a page a texture of fine lines with no names to compete with your text, and the list on this page gives the names if you want any in your captions.
Design and craft
The SVG opens in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, where the outline scales without blurring. Use it for a poster, a stencil or an illustration, and restyle the lines of the areas separately from the coast if you want a lighter touch inside. Outline only is better for a silhouette.

Questions people ask
Is there a political blank map of Cuba?
Yes: With borders. It draws all 16 administrative areas inside the outline, Isla de la Juventud included, with no names. Outline only is the shape of the country with nothing inside it.
How many areas does the blank map show?
The With borders version shows 16 administrative areas. The list further down this page names each one, so you can label the map yourself and check the labels against it.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. The area around the outline is see-through, so the map of Cuba takes on the colour of the page, slide or poster you set it on. There is no white box to remove.
Can I show the countries around Cuba?
Not here, where the map does not change. Open Customise this map and switch on Neighbours in the editor, and the countries across the sea appear in grey for you to download.
