Blank map of Latvia

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 Latvia

Latvia's blank map comes in two versions. Outline only is the country as one shape, handy for a cover or a silhouette, and With borders adds the 119 administrative areas inside it. Whichever you choose, you get a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG or a PDF for A4 or Letter.

An infographic or a report cover

Place the PNG of Outline only in a corner of a report cover and let the title run beside it. For an infographic, open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and recolour the areas in groups, one colour per team or theme, with a key of your own. The lines stay sharp at any size, so the same file can go on a poster.

A labelling sheet in your own layout

Drop the With borders PNG into a worksheet and number only a few areas, since 119 shapes are small. Choose ones you want pupils to find, such as Jūrmala, Liepāja or Valmiera, and give each a box for its name. The list further down the page is the answer sheet. A shorter task needs only Outline only: show it on a slide with no title and ask which country it is, then reveal With borders.

Latvia and its neighbours

The fact sheet names Belarus, Estonia, Lithuania and Russia as neighbours. For a slide that sets two markets side by side, put the PNG next to the one from the blank map of Lithuania; both are transparent. To show neighbours on the map itself, or add names, use Customise this map.

How to do it in MapMaker

Questions people ask

How many areas does the blank map of Latvia show?

The With borders version draws 119 administrative areas, with no names. Outline only draws the country as one shape. The list further down this page names every area and acts as a key.

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

Yes. Open it in any of them and set your own line weight and colours; because it is a vector file, you can enlarge Latvia for a poster with no loss of sharpness.

Does the PNG have a transparent background?

Yes. Nothing surrounds Latvia but transparency, so the map takes the colour of your slide or page, whichever you place it on.

Is there a political blank map of Latvia?

Yes: With borders is the political blank map of Latvia, with the 119 administrative areas drawn and no names, ready for a labelling task or a colouring exercise.
