The blank map of North America is a printable outline of all 23 countries of the continent and the borders between them, drawn in black and white with no names, and sized for A4 and US Letter. Download it free as a PDF or a JPEG, either as the blank political version with country borders or as a plain outline map of North America.

Because the map is unlabeled, it works as an empty base for practice: students fill in countries, capitals, mountains and rivers such as the Rockies, the Mississippi or the Great Lakes, and teachers use the same sheet as a quiz or a coloring exercise. It pairs well with our geography worksheets, and with the labeled map of North America when you need the names for reference.

If you need one country in more detail, use the blank map of the United States, the blank map of Canada, or browse the other blank continent maps.

North America Blank Maps Bundle and More

The blank map and the outline map are free. The bundle adds a few more versions of the continent map, plus country sheets that come with it:

Blank map of North America
Outline map of North America
Blank map of North America with seas and oceans
Labeled North America map for reference
Blank USA map with state capitals
Labeled USA map for reference
Blank Canada map with province/territory capitals
Labeled Canada map for reference
Blank Mexico map with state capitals
Labeled Mexico map for reference

The bundle includes PDF and JPEG versions of all maps. The maps with countries and/or capitals include all borders between the North American countries, their states, provinces and territories, and markers for their capital cities.

The two free downloads are the blank map, which draws the borders between the countries, and the outline map, which has the outer outline only. The capital and city markers are part of the bundle: dots placed on the map without any names, so the sheet still works as an exercise rather than an answer key.

The blank map with seas and oceans includes the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean, the Pacific Ocean, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico.

The 23 Countries of North America and Their Capitals

North America runs from Canada and Greenland in the Arctic down through Mexico and Central America to the Caribbean islands, so its capitals range from Ottawa and Washington to Kingstown and Basseterre.

Country	Capital
Antigua and Barbuda	Saint John's
Bahamas	Nassau
Barbados	Bridgetown
Belize	Belmopan
Canada	Ottawa
Costa Rica	San José
Cuba	Havana
Dominica	Roseau
Dominican Republic	Santo Domingo
El Salvador	San Salvador
Grenada	Saint George's
Guatemala	Guatemala City
Haiti	Port-au-Prince
Honduras	Tegucigalpa
Jamaica	Kingston
Mexico	Mexico City
Nicaragua	Managua
Panama	Panama City
Saint Kitts and Nevis	Basseterre
Saint Lucia	Castries
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines	Kingstown
Trinidad and Tobago	Port of Spain
United States	Washington, D.C.

Greenland is part of North America geographically but is an autonomous territory of Denmark rather than a sovereign country, which is why it is not counted among the 23.

About North America's Countries and Geography

North America covers roughly 24.7 million square kilometres, the third largest continent after Asia and Africa, and is home to about 600 million people. Its highest point is Denali in Alaska at 6,190 metres and its lowest is Badwater Basin in Death Valley, about 86 metres below sea level. The Rocky Mountains run from Canada down to New Mexico, the Mississippi and Missouri drain the interior, and the five Great Lakes hold the largest surface of fresh water on Earth. The Panama Canal cuts the isthmus in the south, joining the Atlantic and the Pacific. Those are the features students are usually asked to place, which is why an unlabeled base map is more useful for practice than a finished one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions people ask most about the free blank map of North America.

How many countries are there in North America?

North America has 23 countries, from Canada and the United States in the north through Mexico and Central America to the Caribbean island states. Greenland is part of the continent geographically but is an autonomous territory of Denmark.

Does the blank map of North America show internal borders?

The continent map shows the borders between the North American countries, not the divisions inside them. For state, province or territory borders, use the dedicated blank map of the United States or blank map of Canada.

What is the difference between the blank map and the outline map?

The blank map draws every border between the North American countries without naming them, so it works as a political map to label. The outline map keeps only the coastline and the shape of the continent.

Is the blank map of North America free to download?

Yes, the blank map and the outline map are free in PDF and JPEG, with no sign-up. The bundle with the USA, Canada and Mexico sheets is a small one-off price.

Can I print the map on A4 or US Letter?

Yes, every file is sized for A4 and prints on US Letter without cropping. The PDF holds its line quality when enlarged for a wall-size print.

What Can I Do with a Blank Map?

Blank maps are a great way to visualize geography, get a feel for regions and borders, and see how places relate to one another. They also bring presentations, travel journals, and creative projects to life by giving you a clear, flexible canvas to work with.

Maybe you’re a teacher planning your next lesson or preparing homework assignments. Maybe you’re a parent putting together practice materials at home. Or you’re a student preparing for an exam or working on a school project. Perhaps you’re a globetrotter writing down your travel memories or dreaming up your next adventure. In all these cases, a blank map is surprisingly versatile and can be used in many different ways.

In class, students can color blank maps and label countries, capitals, mountains, rivers, or oceans. They can illustrate shifting borders and historical events, making subjects like geography and history easier to grasp.

Blank maps are also excellent for creating tests and worksheets. From simple labeling exercises to detailed quizzes, they can be adapted to a wide variety of content. On a blank map of Europe, for example, students can mark mountain ranges like the Alps and the Pyrenees, as well as the continent’s major rivers. Or, in history class, they can mark the borders before and after World War I. In English class, an outline map can be used to show all the English-speaking countries of the world. Current events are also easy to track by shading in countries or specific regions.

Blank maps are helpful for presentations, homework, or exam prep. Combined with labeled maps, they make effective geography quizzes and reinforce knowledge through coloring and labeling.

With a little creativity, globetrotters can quickly transform blank maps into personalized travel journals. Mark the places you’ve been, trace your routes, and jot down a special memory for each destination. Print a second map and use it as a bucket list for everywhere you still want to see.

They’re also useful outside the classroom. In a business presentation, they can be used to show sales territories, office locations, or planned expansions. You can also print blank maps in a large format and hang them on the wall. With pins, stickers, labels, or photos, they can be personalized to display a wide range of content.

For any purpose, WMB Maps provides a wide selection of blank maps designed to help you achieve your learning or creative goals.
