Printable Blank Map of Argentina
Delineating all 23 provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires across 2.78 million square kilometers, this blank vector map of Argentina captures South America's southern cone. Projected in POSGAR 2007 / Argentina Zone 4 (EPSG:5347), it provides distortion-free geometry for Andes mountain studies, Pampas agricultural mapping, and Patagonian drainage analysis.
About this Blank Map of Argentina
This printable blank map represents Argentina on the authentic POSGAR 2007 / WGS84 ellipsoidal datum. All 3 interactive visual variants—including Blank Outline, Capital City Marker (Buenos Aires), and High-Contrast Printer B&W—are generated synchronously from identical coordinate geometry.

Argentina at a Glance
- Capital
- Buenos Aires
- First-level divisions
- 24 Provinces & Autonomous City
This printable map shows the national outline of Argentina with the capital, Buenos Aires, marked. Internal provinces & autonomous city borders are not drawn, which makes it a good base for students to sketch them in from an atlas.

Geography Notes: Argentina
Argentine National Geodesy & POSGAR 2007 Standards
The National Geographic Institute (IGN Argentina) standardizes mapping under the POSGAR 2007 datum.
Centered on 69°W, Zone 4 maintains conformal scale along the Andean spine from the subtropical Gran Chaco in the north to the glaciated fjords of Tierra del Fuego in the far south.
Conformal Transverse Mercator parameters preserve true angular relations along the 3,300-mile mountain boundary separating Argentina from Chile.
EPSG:5347 preserves metric scale across 33 degrees of latitude from the Tropic of Capricorn to Cape Horn.
The Pampas, Gran Chaco, Cuyo & Patagonia
Argentina is divided into four grand physical realms that shaped its agricultural export economy.
The fertile, flat Pampas grasslands surrounding Buenos Aires Province drive the nation's cattle ranching and grain production, housing over half the national population.
Buenos Aires Province covers 307,571 square kilometers as the largest province, while western Cuyo features irrigated wine valleys at the foot of Mount Aconcagua (6,961 m, highest peak in the Western Hemisphere).
Buenos Aires Province covers 11% of Argentina's territory and contains over 17 million residents, separate from the federal capital city of CABA.
Curated Classroom Activities & Spatial Labs for Argentina
Pedagogical lesson plans and spatial analysis activities designed specifically for printable vector maps of Argentina:
The Four Grand Regions & Andes Mountain Lab
Objective: Map the four geographic regions and trace the Andes mountain spine.
Materials: Printed blank map of Argentina, colored pencils, physical relief atlas.
- Trace the spine of the Andes along the western border with Chile, locating Mount Aconcagua.
- Color-code the four regions: the Pampas, the Gran Chaco, Cuyo, and Patagonia.
- Locate the federal Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) along the Rio de la Plata.
Patagonian Glaciers & Tierra del Fuego Lab
Objective: Trace the southern glaciated terrain and maritime straits of Patagonia.
Materials: Printed Argentina provincial outline map, fine-tip markers.
- Trace Santa Cruz and Chubut provinces across the arid Patagonian steppe to the Atlantic.
- Label the Strait of Magellan and the shared island of Tierra del Fuego.
- Highlight Buenos Aires Province as the largest province by land area and population.
The 3 Synchronized Variants Explained
We generate 3 synchronized variations of Argentina from the same master vector dataset. Each variant is aligned to identical coordinate geometry:
1. Blank Boundary Outline
The foundational boundary outline of Argentina. Rendered with a clean exterior stroke and zero fill—the optimal version for in-class labeling exams, custom cartographic overlays, or clean graphic design.
2. With Capital City (Buenos Aires)
Pinpoints the official capital city of Buenos Aires using a high-visibility star marker and typographic callout, positioned at precise geodetic coordinates.
3. High-Contrast Printer B&W
Optimized specifically for monochrome desktop laser and inkjet printers. Uses pure black vector paths (#000000) and ultra-clean white fills to prevent ink-bleeding and toner smudging.
