Blank map of Mongolia

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 Mongolia

Someone building a worksheet or a slide on Mongolia needs the shape first and the lessons or figures second. This page has the outline in two versions, Outline only and With borders, which draws its 22 administrative areas. Each comes as a PNG, an SVG and a PDF.

Slides and covers

Drop the PNG onto a title slide in your own colours; the transparent background means only the outline of Mongolia appears. For a report cover, scale up the SVG and set it at a low opacity behind the title. The Outline only file is the better choice there, since inner lines would compete with the text.

Labelling and quiz sheets

The political blank map of Mongolia is the With borders version. In your worksheet software, put a number on eight areas, perhaps Khövsgöl, Ömnögovi, Govi-Altai and Dornod among them, and give pupils the list further down this page as an answer sheet. Younger pupils can start from Outline only instead, which has no inner lines to confuse a first look at the shape.

Choosing the file

Take the PNG for anything in a word processor or a slide deck. Use the SVG when you want to recolour individual areas in a design tool or enlarge the map for a display; it keeps its edges at any size. The PDF is for a ready-made sheet on A4 or Letter. For choices about ink and paper, the printable map of Mongolia is the better page.

Beyond the outline

Customise this map opens the same outline in the editor to add names, colours, a title or pins. To shade the areas from a spreadsheet, try the choropleth map of Mongolia.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?

Outline only draws the shape of Mongolia with no lines inside it. With borders adds the lines between its 22 administrative areas, with no names, so it works for labelling and for colouring by area.

Is there an answer key for a labelling quiz?

Yes. The list of 22 administrative areas further down this page, from Arkhangai to Zavkhan, is the key. Number the areas you want pupils to name and check their answers against it.

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

The PNG for a worksheet or a slide, since its background is transparent. The SVG for Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma. The PDF if you want a sheet ready to print on A4 or Letter.

Can I make the outline bigger without it going blurry?

Yes, with the SVG or the PDF. Both are vector files, so the lines of Mongolia and its areas stay sharp at any size, from a card to a banner.
