Printable Blank Map of Finland
Delineating all 19 administrative regions (maakunta) across 338,455 square kilometers of the Nordic realm, this blank vector map captures the Land of a Thousand Lakes. Projected in ETRS89 / TM35FIN (EPSG:3067), it provides clean coordinate geometry for Finnish Lakeland analysis, Baltic archipelago studies, and regional labeling.
About this Blank Map of Finland
This printable blank map represents Finland on the authentic ETRS89 / WGS84 ellipsoidal datum. All 3 interactive visual variants—including Blank Outline, Capital City Marker (Helsinki), and High-Contrast Printer B&W—are generated synchronously from identical coordinate geometry.

Finland at a Glance

- First-level divisions
- 19 Regions
This printable map shows the national outline of Finland with the capital, Helsinki, marked. Internal regions borders are not drawn, which makes it a good base for students to sketch them in from an atlas.
Geography Notes: Finland
National Land Survey of Finland & TM35FIN Geodesy
The National Land Survey of Finland (Maanmittauslaitos) standardizes spatial data under TM35FIN.
Centered on 27°00'E, TM35FIN is a national Transverse Mercator projection aligned with ETRS89, applying a scale factor of 0.9996 to maintain horizontal distortion under 1:1,000 across Finland's 700-mile north-south length.
Conformal parameters preserve true geometry across more than 187,000 freshwater lakes and the Åland archipelago in the Baltic Sea.
EPSG:3067 preserves sub-meter precision from the Gulf of Finland north to the Arctic border with Norway at Utsjoki.
Finnish Lakeland vs Lapland & The Åland Archipelago
Finland is characterized by post-glacial moraines, vast boreal forests, and autonomous island realms.
Lapland (Lappi) in the north covers 92,674 square kilometers as the largest administrative region by surface area (nearly 28% of the country), characterized by Arctic fells, gold rivers, and Sami culture.
The southwestern coast features the autonomous, demilitarized, Swedish-speaking archipelago region of Åland, while the southern Uusimaa region houses the national capital of Helsinki.
Lapland covers 92,674 square kilometers, larger than Portugal or Austria, with a population density under 2 people per square kilometer.
Curated Classroom Activities & Spatial Labs for Finland
Pedagogical lesson plans and spatial analysis activities designed specifically for printable vector maps of Finland:
Finnish Lakeland & Glacial Saimaa Basin Lab
Objective: Trace the interconnected glacial lakes and Salpausselkä moraines of southern Finland.
Materials: Printed blank map of Finland, blue highlighter, hydrological relief atlas.
- Trace the sprawling Lake Saimaa lake system in southeastern Finland.
- Draw the Salpausselkä glacial terminal moraine ridges running parallel to the southern coast.
- Locate Helsinki on the Gulf of Finland as the national capital.
The 19 Regions & Autonomous Åland Islands Lab
Objective: Map the 19 administrative regions and analyze Åland's demilitarized status.
Materials: Printed Finland regional outline map, colored pencils.
- Highlight the autonomous island region of Åland at the entrance to the Gulf of Bothnia.
- Highlight Lapland in the north as the largest administrative region by area.
- Trace the 830-mile eastern land border shared with the Russian Federation.
The 3 Synchronized Variants Explained
We generate 3 synchronized variations of Finland from the same master vector dataset. Each variant is aligned to identical coordinate geometry:
1. Blank Boundary Outline
The foundational boundary outline of Finland. 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 (Helsinki)
Pinpoints the official capital city of Helsinki 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.
