Blank, numbered or named
The sheet opens blank. Choose Numbered to put a number on each of the nine departments, or Named for their names, then press Print this map; the answer key prints on its own sheet.
Two capitals and no coast
Sucre, the constitutional capital, is in Chuquisaca. La Paz, the seat of government, is in the department of La Paz, the one that reaches Lake Titicaca. Bolivia is landlocked: Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile are drawn around it as plain land without names.
- The map prints departments, not cities: Sucre and La Paz are for students to mark themselves.
