How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01 from the drawing's own list of shapes; ids and points are Natural Earth's. THE DRAWING IS DATED: it has the seven divisions Bangladesh had until 2015, not today's eight. The page numbers and asks only the six divisions that were not changed when Mymensingh was split from Dhaka on 14 September 2015 (Barishal, Chattogram, Khulna, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Sylhet); the area of the former Dhaka Division is drawn without a number and is never asked. The eight divisions of today and their spellings were read on 2026-10-01 on the site of the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, which lists its eight divisional offices in Bengali (https://www.bbs.gov.bd/), in the list of ISO 3166-2 codes for Bangladesh as Wikipedia prints it (eight divisions, BD-A to BD-H, with Barishal and Chattogram as the current spellings, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:BD) and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisions_of_Bangladesh, which gives the date of the split. No disputed area lies in the frame of the drawing. Licence: public domain (Natural Earth terms of use: https://www.naturalearthdata.com/about/terms-of-use/)

How it works

This Bangladesh map opens blank: the plain outline of the country, with India and Myanmar as plain land around it. Borders adds the division lines of before 2015, and six of today’s eight divisions can be numbered.

Read the full guide

Outline first

The sheet opens with nothing inside the outline. Press Print this map for a sheet to draw rivers, cities or the eight divisions on. Borders adds the division lines.

Why six divisions have numbers

The lines are those of the seven divisions Bangladesh had until 2015, when Mymensingh was split from Dhaka. Six are unchanged, and Numbered and Named label those six: Barishal, Chattogram, Khulna, Rajshahi, Rangpur and Sylhet. The old Dhaka area stays unlabeled.

  • To finish the map by hand, have students draw the missing line: Mymensingh Division is the northern part of the unlabeled area.

Questions and answers

How many divisions does Bangladesh have?

Eight: Barishal, Chattogram, Dhaka, Khulna, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Rangpur and Sylhet. Mymensingh is the newest, split from Dhaka Division in 2015.

Why is Dhaka not numbered on the map?

The map source draws Dhaka Division as it was before 2015, with Mymensingh still inside it. That shape is no longer one division, so it has no number or name. The other six divisions are unchanged.

Are Barisal and Chittagong on the map?

Yes, under today’s official spellings: Barishal and Chattogram. The older spellings count as right answers in the quiz on this map.

What is around Bangladesh on the map?

India lies to the west, north and east and Myanmar to the southeast, both drawn as plain land without names. The Bay of Bengal is to the south, and the islands of the delta coast are drawn.
