Blank map of Mali

Teachers, students and designers ask for Mali's shape when they want to build something around it. This page gives you two versions. Outline only is the country with nothing inside it, and With borders draws its 9 administrative areas. Each is a PNG, an SVG or a PDF.

With nine areas, a page stays clear

Place the With borders PNG in a document and number every area, with a row of notes for each number in a table beside the map. Nine boxes fit comfortably on a page, and the list further down gives the spellings. A lighter version numbers only Kidal, Gao, Tombouctou and Kayes. For a cover, use Outline only with the title above it.

On a slide or in a design

A slide on Mali needs very little: the transparent PNG, a title and a few figures. The shape takes the slide colour, so it works on a dark theme as readily as a white one. In a design tool, the SVG lets you recolour the 9 areas to a brand palette, set the line weights or trace the outline for a logo sketch, and scale it up without blurring.

Choosing a version

The political blank map of Mali is the With borders version. Outline only is better for a silhouette. PNG for worksheets and slides, SVG for design tools, PDF for A4 or Letter. If you want to print in black and white, use the printable map of Mali. For names or neighbours, choose Customise this map.
