Blank map of Vanuatu

Designers, teachers and report writers all ask for the same thing from a blank map of Vanuatu: the shape, clean, in a format that drops into their work. Outline only is the plain shape, and With borders adds the lines between its 6 administrative areas. Each version comes as a PNG, an SVG or a PDF.

Design work with six areas

Six shapes are few enough to style by hand. Open the SVG in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma and fill each area in a different brand colour, or give the lines a heavy weight for a cover. The outline can also be traced for a logo sketch or a banner. Since SVG is a vector format, the same file works small in a footer and large on a poster.

Research handouts

In a word processor, drop the With borders PNG into a handout and add a text box beside each of Malampa, Penama, Sanma, Shefa, Tafea and Torba. Pupils write a note from their own reading in each box, and the list further down this page gives the names to check. The outline worksheet template is a ready-made layout for this kind of page.

Slides

The PNG has a transparent background, so on a coloured slide the map takes the slide's colour. Put With borders beside a table with one row per area, or use Outline only as a quiet backdrop for a title.

Which one

Choose With borders to name areas; choose Outline only for decoration or a silhouette. If you want black and white or print choices, go to the printable map of Vanuatu. For colour and names, choose Customise this map.
