Using a blank map of Mauritius
A blank map of Mauritius usually goes onto a cover, a slide or a handout rather than onto a wall. This page offers the shape as a file in two versions: Outline only, the plain shape, and With borders, which adds the lines between its 16 administrative areas. Each comes as a PNG, an SVG or a PDF, and none has names on it.
A cover, a handout or a slide
For a report cover, place the Outline only PNG large on the page and let the title run across it; the transparent background takes the cover's colour. A handout can carry the With borders PNG in one corner with a table of the areas beside it. On a slide, the same PNG works as a locator for a topic that concerns one area.
Designing with the SVG
Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and the lines can be recoloured, thickened or removed. Fill a few areas to show a service footprint, or trace the outline for a logo. Because the file is vector, it enlarges without blurring, so the same map works on a business card and on a banner.
Shading what a project covers
Place the With borders PNG in a handout and shade the areas a service or a project covers with your word processor's own shape tools. The list further down this page names all 16 areas, so the captions can be copied straight from it, and the key to your shading is yours to write.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?
Outline only is the shape of Mauritius with nothing inside it. With borders adds the lines between its 16 administrative areas. Neither version carries a name, so you add your own.
Is there a political blank map of Mauritius?
Yes. The With borders version is the political blank map, with all 16 administrative areas drawn in and no labels. The list further down this page names each area for checking answers.
Which file should I use in a worksheet, a slide or a design?
Use the PNG in a worksheet or slide, since its transparent background takes the colour behind it. Use the SVG in a design tool, and the PDF when you want the outline on A4 or Letter.
Can I show the countries around Mauritius?
Not on this page, which gives the outline only. Choose Customise this map and switch on Neighbours in the editor to draw the surrounding countries in grey.
