How to make a blank Poland map

  1. Open the Poland map. Start from the button above. What a click paints here is one voivodeship, and there are 16 of them, all listed further down this page. If you want finer detail than that, the 380 counties are a second map of the same country.
  2. Write the legend before you paint. Add one entry per category and say what it means in your own words. The legend is part of the exported image, so a map that made sense to you at midnight still makes sense to someone who sees it cold.
  3. Fill the voivodeships. Every click paints one voivodeship. With 16 of them, the fastest route is often to fill everything in a baseline colour first and then paint the exceptions, or to paste a table of values and let the colour scale do it.
  4. Export or publish. Download a PNG, JPEG, SVG or PDF at the size you ask for, or publish for a link with a preview image. Published maps show up in the community list at the bottom of this page.

What you can do

  • All 16 voivodeships, each a separate clickable shape.
  • A second, finer map of the same country: 380 counties.
  • Flat colours, or stripe, dot and checkerboard patterns for the categories that would otherwise look alike.
  • Colour by numbers: paste a table of names and values and the map fills itself in on a scale you choose.
  • A legend you write yourself, with a heading, dragged wherever the map has room.
  • Names or codes printed on the voivodeships, on or off, in a colour you pick.
  • Fill every voivodeship you have not touched in one action, or clear the whole map in one colour.
  • Backgrounds, borders and border colours are all editable, or turn the borders off entirely.
  • Crop the exported view, so the map fills the frame instead of floating in it.
  • PNG, JPEG, SVG and PDF export at the end, with nothing to install first.

Make your own blank Poland map

Elections and the partition line

Presidential and parliamentary results. A voivodeship map of Poland tends to redraw the old partition boundary by itself, which is one of the more striking things a map here can do.

Population and work

Where people are leaving, wages, unemployment, where the new plants went. Sixteen shapes reads instantly and the names are the ones every Polish dataset is keyed on.

Where you have been in Poland

The voivodeships you have visited, lived in, worked in or only passed through. Three colours and a legend that says what each one means, and 16 shapes is small enough to finish in one sitting.

Something the country map is too coarse for

When a voivodeship is too big a unit for what you are showing, the same country is also drawn as 380 counties. It is a much slower map to paint by hand, so it is the one to use with a pasted table of values.

Common questions

How many voivodeships are on the Poland map?

16, every one of them a separate shape you can click and fill. The list above runs from Greater Poland to West Pomeranian.

What exactly does this map cover?

These are the boundaries from the 1999 reform, so they do not line up with the older 49-province division that historical maps use.

Can I colour something smaller than a voivodeship?

Yes. The same country is also drawn as 380 counties, which is a second starting map rather than a zoom: pick it and every click paints one of those instead.

Can I put the names on the map itself?

Yes. Region labels can be switched on for the whole map, in a colour and size you choose, and you can write your own text for any voivodeship where the real name is too long to fit. On a busy map most people leave the labels off and let the legend carry it.

Can I put Poland on a map with other countries?

Yes, on the world map. Pick the countries you want, and open any of them into their own regions, so Poland can appear at this level of detail beside its neighbours at theirs.

Do I need an account?

No. The editor opens straight away, the map stays in this browser while you work, and exporting an image never asks you to sign in. An account only matters if you want to publish a map at a link other people can open.

Can I use the exported map commercially?

The image is yours, and we ask for no credit: the only mark on it is the site address in small type in the bottom corner, and nothing is drawn across the map. Nothing from the map data is added to the picture either, because we only ship boundary data whose licence is satisfied by naming it on our credits page, so there is no credit line to print and nothing for you to pass on. Anything you add to the map stays your own.
