Blank map of Turkey

Someone building a market-entry slide, a geography worksheet or a poster of Turkey usually wants the shape and nothing else, so they can draw on it themselves. Two versions are on this page: Outline only, and With borders, which draws the 81 administrative areas inside the outline. Each comes as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

In a design tool

Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and fill the areas your story is about, leaving the rest in a pale grey. The outline scales to poster size without blurring. If you are tracing or cutting the shape for a craft or a display, Outline only is the simpler choice, because there are no inner lines to follow.

In a worksheet

With borders is the political blank map of Turkey: the areas drawn in, with no names. Number ten of them in your word processor, perhaps Kars, Muğla, Sinop, Hatay and Edirne among them, and keep the list further down this page as the answer sheet. For a younger class, use Outline only on the front of the worksheet pack: with no inner lines it reads as one clear shape.

Which file to take

Take the PNG for worksheets and slides: its transparent background takes the colour of the page it sits on. Take the PDF to print on A4 or Letter exactly as drawn; for choices about ink and class sets, the printable map of Turkey is the page to use. When you need names, colours or a title on the map itself, Customise this map opens the same outline in the editor.
