Sulawesi Map
Sulawesi is an island in Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean, covering about 175,000 km² (67,400 sq mi). This map shows the island on shaded relief, with its relief, rivers and towns.
How to read this map
Wikidata lists a population of about 18,000,000. The highest point is Buntu Rantemario, 3,478 m (11,411 ft) above sea level.
The map is centred on Sulawesi. Towns and cities on the map include Makassar, Palu, Manado, Gorontalo, Majene, Tarakan, Pinrang and Kendari.
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.
