Blank map of Kyrgyzstan

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 Kyrgyzstan

People who want a blank map of Kyrgyzstan usually have a project half built and need the shape to finish it. Outline only is the country with nothing inside. With borders draws its 8 administrative areas. Each is a PNG, an SVG or a PDF.

Craft and design

The SVG is the file to take into Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. Trace Outline only for a logo sketch, or print it at large size and cut it out as a template for a class display. With With borders open, the 8 areas are separate shapes, so a poster can give each one its own colour from a palette you pick.

A numbered quiz

Place the With borders PNG in a worksheet and number the areas from one to eight. Pupils write a name beside each number, then compare with the list further down this page. For a harder version, number only Batken, Issyk-Kul, Jalal-Abad and Osh, and give a bank of names to choose from.

On a slide

Set the PNG on a slide whose background is a colour of your own. The transparency lets the colour show through, so only the shape of Kyrgyzstan appears. Bishkek and Osh can be marked with your slide software's own shapes, if the slide is about where two offices sit.

Questions people ask

Is there a political blank map of Kyrgyzstan?

Yes. It is the With borders version, which draws the 8 administrative areas as separate shapes with no names. Outline only is the shape of the country alone.

Can I open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma?

Yes. The SVG is a vector file, and in the With borders version each of the 8 areas is its own shape, so you can recolour or restyle them one by one.

Does the blank map show the names of the administrative areas?

No. A blank map has no names. The list of areas further down this page is the key, so you can label the map yourself or mark a quiz.

Which file should I use in a worksheet, a slide or a design?

Use the PNG for a worksheet or slide, because its background is transparent. Use the SVG for design tools, and the PDF for an A4 or Letter page that prints as it is.
