How to read this map
Wikidata lists a population of about 66,000. The highest point is Mount Yuwan, 694 m (2,278 ft) above sea level.
The map is centred on Amami Ōshima.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. These are small-scale educational maps, not navigation charts.

The blank version keeps the mapped features and removes the place labels. Download it for a geography worksheet or practice identifying the features.
