Polynesia Map
Polynesia is a group of islands across 9 countries in the Pacific Ocean. This map shows the islands on shaded relief, with its relief, rivers and towns.
How to read this map
Wikidata lists a population of about 2,200,000.
The map is centred on Polynesia. Towns and cities on the map include Mexico City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Sydney, Houston, Melbourne and Monterrey. Labeled countries: United States, Mexico, New Zealand and Honduras.
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.
