Blank map of Uzbekistan

A teacher making a quiz, a researcher drawing up a poster and a designer sketching a regional graphic all begin with the same thing: the shape of Uzbekistan, with nothing else on it. This page offers two forms, Outline only, and With borders, which adds the 14 administrative areas. Both come as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.

Numbered areas for a quiz

With borders is the political blank map of Uzbekistan: 14 areas, no names. Open the PNG in your worksheet, number a handful of them, such as Bukhara, Jizzakh and Surxondaryo among the answers, and ask pupils to name each. The list further down this page is the answer sheet. A timed round, three minutes for ten numbered areas, suits a revision lesson.

A research or design graphic

Researchers can place the SVG on a poster and fill only the areas where fieldwork took place. Designers can open it in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and restyle the lines, or recolour the areas in a palette that matches a report. Outline only is the simpler base if the areas themselves are not part of the message.

Slides about the wider region

In PowerPoint or Google Slides, drop the PNG onto a slide and its transparent background lets the slide colour show behind the shape. For a Central Asia slide, add the blank map of Kazakhstan as a second file and give each country its own colour; the files are not drawn to one scale, so resize each by eye.

Past the outline

For names, pins or a title, Customise this map opens the same outline in the editor. For a paper copy with a choice of ink, see the printable map of Uzbekistan.
