Maps of the World: Blank Outline Maps

This is a map image collection from Heibonsha Cartographic, who specialize in the editing and production of educational maps, including those found in various textbooks, such as Tokyo Shoseki’s social studies textbooks, and Heibonsha’s own Large Atlas of the World.

Global, regional, and national maps are available in six modes – blank outline; blank outline (no place names); natural features; administrative districts; transportation, and administration/gradation. Features such as national borders are in conformance with social studies textbooks, making these the ideal maps for learning.

Downloadable JPEG files and PDF files that can be copied and printed have been prepared for the JapanKnowledge School version. We hope you will make use of these for maps to be used in combination with learning activities.

* Maps for certain countries may be unavailable.
