Louisiade Archipelago Map
The Louisiade Archipelago is a group of islands in Papua New Guinea in the Coral Sea, covering about 1,870 km² (722 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 Louisiade Archipelago.
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, and fine dashed lines show state or province 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.
