Line Islands Map
The Line Islands are a group of islands across Kiribati and the United States in the Pacific Ocean, covering about 510 km² (197 sq mi). This map shows the islands on shaded relief, with its relief, rivers and towns.
How to read this map
The map is centred on the Line Islands. Towns and cities on the map include Papeete.
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.
Blank physical map
The blank version keeps the mapped features and removes the place labels. Download it for a geography worksheet or practice identifying the features.
