Inside the Guatemala map
This map cuts Guatemala into 22 departments, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Petén (about 36,200 km², 33% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Sacatepéquez at about 690 km². That is a 52-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 14°N to 18°N and spans roughly 4° of longitude.

Tips for coloring the Guatemala map
- With 22 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.
- Petén alone covers about 33% of the mapped area, so a shaded choropleth will always be dominated by it. If you are mapping a quantity, import your numbers and switch to the bubble view, which sizes circles by value instead of by land area.
- Printing in greyscale? The stripes and dots fill patterns stay distinguishable where two similar shades merge, and the colorblind-safe palette avoids the red–green pairing.
