Here are some blank maps for colour and label in different languages.

Vardion's world blank Maps

These are the four basic images I used in creating locator maps found on various country pages (for example, India, Vietnam, Georgia (country), and Nicaragua). They can be freely used for anything you like.

All the maps show land in grey and sea in white. They have country borders marked in white. These colours may, of course, be changed - there isn't (or shouldn't be) any anti-aliasing, so colour changes shouldn't be too difficult. All maps are in PNG format.

• world map. Robinson projection centered on the Greenwich Prime Meridian. Microstates and island nations are generally represented by single or few pixels approximate to the capital; all territories indicated in the UN listing of territories and regions are exhibited. Quite large - 1357 x 628 pixels, 28 064 bytes.

• Europe as far east as western Russia, western Turkey, and Cyprus. Some of the world's smallest states (e.g., Monaco, Vatican City) appear as single pixels. (The original version did not have the former eastern Soviet republics, but this one does). 450 x 422 pixels, 9 812 bytes.

• Caribbean, including part of South America, part of Central America, and part of Florida. Shows most significant islands, including all the small independent countries (such as Saint Lucia or Dominica). 419 x 445 pixels, 6 446 bytes.
• Persian Gulf area, showing all of Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as large parts of other countries like Saudi Arabia, Oman, Iran, and Iraq. 359 x 251 pixels, 3 271 bytes.

And derived from these:

Reisio's hemisphere maps

These are azimuthal orthographic projections of the Earth from four sides plus the poles. 726x726 pixels, aliased. XCFs have separate layers for water, land, coastlines, political borders, political borders over water (not shown in PNGs), and latitude & longitude gridlines (not shown in PNGs).

Andy's country subdivision Maps

Several map templates created for building country subdivision locator maps. Maps are larger than necessary, so they need to be rescaled for using - best done with a "smart" rescale as the anti-aliasing effect will make them look more smooth. The percentage listed is the rescaling factor I used or suggest.

• Mexican states (33%)
• Brazilian states (25%)
• Italian regions (25%)
• French regions (50%)
• German states (40%)
• Argentina provinces (30%)
• Thailand provinces (20%)
• Costa Rica provinces (30%)

Dab's blank maps derived from OMC

• http://www.aquarius.geomar.de/omc/make_map.html

this is a web interface, В© 1996 - 2004 Martin Weinelt, generating maps using GMT (The Generic Mapping Tools), from public domain vector data. The resulting maps should be in the public domain.

these maps show elevation and main rivers, but no modern boundaries. They are intended for use in archaeological/historical contexts (Kurgan, Ancient Orient, Neolithic Europe, etc.)
