Blank maps to fill in online and print

An online tool for filling in blank outline maps on a phone or computer: the world, the hemispheres, the continents, Europe and Russia. Find a river, sea, mountain range or city by name and the tool labels it the way teachers ask; add symbols, current arrows and colors yourself, then print the map on Letter or A4 or save it.

Fill in a blank map and print it on one sheet

Map

Tap a name and the feature flashes on the map. “Label” writes it the way teachers ask: a river along its course, a sea or a plain inside it, a peak to the right of its dot; if the name doesn’t fit, a number goes on the map and the name into the key.

Check yourself

The map without your labels: find an object with a tap or name the highlighted one. The answer is shown on the map, and you can go over your mistakes again.

What to ask
How many questions
Label a list (assignment)

Paste the objects from the assignment — comma-separated or one per line. Each is labeled by the rules, and you’ll see what wasn’t found.

Map layers

With the zone borders on, the Fill tool colors a whole zone: the taiga, the steppes, the tundra. Zones follow the RESOLVE ecoregions map, simplified for a lesson.

State borders for the chosen year, to color in and label (Fill colors a whole state). It is one version historians give: disputed borders differ between textbooks.

Fills print in shades of gray and labels and symbols in black, so nothing disappears without color.

Header, student name, key

Key

Tap a label or a symbol to edit or move it.

Loading the map…

Print or save

Labels turn into numbers where they stood, and the legend gets lines for answers; the PDF adds an answer key for the teacher as page 2.

The PDF is vector: lines and labels stay sharp when printed on Letter, A4 or A3 at 100% scale.

For a class

The first opens this map for a student as their own starting copy. The second opens “Check yourself” on the objects you labeled.

Features

Labels that follow the rules
Rivers along their course, seas and plains inside, mountain ranges along their axis, peaks and cities to the right of the dot. When a name doesn’t fit, a number goes on the map and the name into the key.

Rivers, lakes, seas, bays, straits, mountains, plains, deserts, peninsulas, islands, peaks with heights, capitals and big cities — the feature flashes on the map, so there’s no hunting through an atlas.
Hemispheres like in an atlas
Two equal-area hemispheres split at 20°W and 160°E, continents centered on themselves, and the world in a familiar Natural Earth projection.
Symbols and arrows
Cities, capitals, peaks, volcanoes, minerals, power plants, battles; warm currents as red arrows, cold ones as blue. The key builds itself.
Degree grid with labels
Parallels and meridians with degrees along the frame, the equator, tropics and polar circles — for plotting a point by its coordinates.
Vector print on one sheet
A PDF with sharp lines and labels, a header with the title and a line for the name; a black-and-white mode prints fills in shades of gray.

FAQ

How should rivers, seas and mountains be labeled on a blank map?

River names follow the river, names of seas, plains and deserts go inside them, mountain ranges are labeled along their length, and peaks and cities to the right of their dot. Small features get a number on the map and their names in the key. The tool does this when you tap Label.

What colors are used for currents and borders?

Warm currents are red arrows and cold currents blue ones, borders are red lines, water features are labeled in blue and landforms and cities in black. If your teacher or atlas uses other mineral symbols, rename them in the key.

Can I print the filled-in map?

Yes: “PDF to print” gives a vector file on Letter, A4 or A3. Print at 100% scale and lines and labels stay sharp. For a black-and-white printer, turn on the mode that prints fills in shades of gray.

How do I plot a point by its coordinates?

Turn on “Parallels and meridians with degrees”: the degrees are written along the frame. Find where the parallel and meridian cross and place a symbol there with the Symbol tool.

Whose borders does the map show?

This version of the site shows borders recognized by the UN. Coastlines, rivers and lakes come from Natural Earth.

What if a feature isn’t in the search?

The search covers nearly 5,000 Natural Earth features, but small hills and rivers may be missing. Label them by hand: the Text tool, a tap on the map and the name. A label can be moved, rotated and resized.
