Printable Blank Map of Morocco
Delineating all 12 administrative regions across 710,850 square kilometers of northwestern Africa, this blank vector map captures the Kingdom of Morocco. Projected in Merchich / Nord Maroc (EPSG:26191), it provides clean coordinate geometry for Atlas Mountain studies, Strait of Gibraltar tracking, and regional labeling.
About this Blank Map of Morocco
This printable blank map represents Morocco on the authentic Merchich / WGS84 ellipsoidal datum. All 3 interactive visual variants—including Blank Outline, Capital City Marker (Rabat), and High-Contrast Printer B&W—are generated synchronously from identical coordinate geometry.

Morocco at a Glance
- Capital
- Rabat
- First-level divisions
- 12 Regions
This printable map shows the national outline of Morocco with the capital, Rabat, marked. Internal regions borders are not drawn, which makes it a good base for students to sketch them in from an atlas.
Geography Notes: Morocco
National Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography Agency (ANCFCC) Geodesy
ANCFCC standardizes Moroccan mapping under the Merchich Lambert conformal projection.
Divided into Nord and Sud zones on the Clarke 1880 ellipsoid, EPSG:26191 minimizes scale distortion across the fertile Atlantic coastal plains and the Rif mountain arc.
Conformal parameters maintain metric consistency from the Strait of Gibraltar south across the High Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert.
EPSG:26191 preserves sub-meter precision across fertile agricultural valleys and high mountain passes.
The Atlas Mountain Spine vs The Coastal Plains
Morocco is dominated by four distinct mountain ranges that block Saharan heat from coastal valleys.
The High Atlas rises to Toubkal (4,167 m, highest peak in North Africa), separating the Mediterranean and Atlantic agricultural plains from the hyper-arid Sahara.
Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab in the south covers 142,865 square kilometers as the largest administrative region by surface area, while Casablanca-Settat anchors the commercial economy.
Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab covers 20% of Morocco's territory, featuring Atlantic coastal desert lagoons.
Curated Classroom Activities & Spatial Labs for Morocco
Pedagogical lesson plans and spatial analysis activities designed specifically for printable vector maps of Morocco:
Atlas Mountains & Strategic Strait of Gibraltar Lab
Objective: Map the mountain ranges of Morocco and trace the entrance to the Mediterranean.
Materials: Printed blank map of Morocco, brown and blue fine-tip pens, physical relief atlas.
- Draw the Rif Mountains along the northern Mediterranean coast.
- Draw the Middle Atlas, High Atlas, and Anti-Atlas mountain chains running southwest-to-northeast.
- Mark the 8-mile-wide Strait of Gibraltar separating Morocco from Spain.
The 12 Administrative Regions Lab
Objective: Identify the 12 administrative regions established under the 2015 regionalization reform.
Materials: Printed Morocco regional outline map, colored pencils.
- Label the major regions including Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, Marrakech-Safi, and Fès-Meknès.
- Locate Rabat along the Atlantic coast as the historic royal capital.
- Highlight Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab as the largest region by land area.
The 3 Synchronized Variants Explained
We generate 3 synchronized variations of Morocco from the same master vector dataset. Each variant is aligned to identical coordinate geometry:
1. Blank Boundary Outline
The foundational boundary outline of Morocco. 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 (Rabat)
Pinpoints the official capital city of Rabat 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Morocco Blank Maps
Authoritative answers to common questions regarding printing, licensing, vector customization, and curriculum use:
Does this map reflect Morocco’s 2015 regional reform?▼
Yes. The geometry delineates the 12 modern administrative regions established under Decree No. 2.15.40 in 2015, replacing the older 16-region system.
What is the largest administrative region by land area in Morocco?▼
Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab in southern Morocco (regional capital: Dakhla) is the largest region at 142,865 square kilometers.
What is the highest mountain peak in Morocco?▼
Mount Toubkal (Jbel Toubkal) in the High Atlas Mountains of Al Haouz Province is the highest peak in Morocco and North Africa at 4,167 meters (13,671 ft).
