Inside the Benin map
This map cuts Benin into 12 departments, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Alibori (about 26,800 km², 23% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Littoral at about 55 km². That is a 486-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 6°N to 12°N and spans roughly 3° of longitude.

Tips for coloring the Benin map
- With 12 departments you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
- The country is far taller than it is wide, so a portrait export wastes less space — and the legend sits better in a top or bottom corner than beside the map.
- The share button packs the whole map into a link — colors, legend labels and title — so someone else opens exactly what you see, with no account at either end.
