How this list was compiled: Items made on 2026-10-01. The items are in the order of Guyana's own region numbers, so number 1 on the sheet is Region 1. The source (Natural Earth) has eight of the ten names on the wrong shape; the spec puts each on the shape it belongs to, tested on 2026-10-01 three ways: the source's own second name field, the towns of its places layer (Mabaruma, Anna Regina, Georgetown, Bartica, Lethem, Linden), and the order of the regions by area. The ten regions, their numbers, areas and capitals were read on 2026-10-01 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Guyana and compared with the list of ISO 3166-2 codes for Guyana as Wikipedia prints it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GY, 10 codes); the Bureau of Statistics of Guyana counts ten administrative regions by the same numbers in its preliminary report of the 2022 census (https://statisticsguyana.gov.gy/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Preliminary-Report-Guyana-National-Population-and-Housing-Census-2022.pdf, read 2026-10-01). DISPUTED BORDERS: Venezuela claims the Essequibo region west of the Essequibo River and Suriname the New River Triangle in the southeast; both are drawn as the source draws them, with Guyana, which administers them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana%E2%80%93Venezuela_territorial_dispute and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigri_Area, read 2026-10-01). The points of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara and Demerara-Mahaica stand a few units apart from the points file's, inside their shapes, so that the two names do not share a row on the Named sheet. Read again on 2026-10-03: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regions_of_Guyana (the ten regions, their numbers, areas and capitals; each capital falls in the shape that carries its region's name) and the lead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana. The outline of the drawing was laid over that Natural Earth file on 2026-10-03: the two cover the same area.

How it works

This blank Guyana map shows the country's ten regions, small ones along the Atlantic coast and large ones inland. Venezuela, Brazil and Suriname are drawn as plain land. Switch Borders off for a plain outline of Guyana.

Around the outline

The Atlantic Ocean is to the north. Venezuela lies to the west, beside Barima-Waini and Cuyuni-Mazaruni, and Brazil wraps the southwest and south. Suriname is to the east, across the Corentyne River from East Berbice-Corentyne.

Guyana's own numbers

Guyana numbers its regions 1 to 10, and the Numbered sheet uses the same numbers: 4 is Demerara-Mahaica, the region of Georgetown, the capital. Most names join the rivers that bound a region.

  • Typed answers by number count in the quiz: Region 6 is right for East Berbice-Corentyne.

Questions and answers

How many regions does Guyana have?

Ten, numbered 1 to 10 since 1980. Region 1 is Barima-Waini in the northwest and Region 10 is Upper Demerara-Berbice, inland from the coast.

Which region is Georgetown in?

Region 4, Demerara-Mahaica, on the Atlantic coast. It is the smallest region by area and the one with the most people.

Which is the largest region?

Upper Takutu-Upper Essequibo, Region 9, in the south, ahead of Cuyuni-Mazaruni, Region 7, in the west.

Are Guyana's borders disputed?

Some borders on this map are disputed. The map follows Natural Earth, a public-domain map source, and does not take a side. Venezuela claims all land west of the Essequibo and Suriname a corner in the southeast; both are drawn with Guyana.
