About this map of Iraq
Iraq is drawn here as 18 individually colorable governorates. By mapped area the largest is Al-Anbar (about 138,300 km², 32% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Baghdad at about 662 km². That is a 209-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 29°N to 37°N and spans roughly 10° of longitude.

Tips for coloring the Iraq map
- With 18 governorates 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.
- Al-Anbar alone covers about 32% 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.
- Your work is saved in this browser as you go, so a reload will not lose the governorates you have already colored.
