What the Malawi map covers
This map cuts Malawi into 28 districts, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Mzimba (about 11,100 km², 9% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Likoma at about 135 km². That is a 82-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 17°S to 9°S and spans roughly 3° of longitude. Some districts are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 29 outlines for 28 districts.

Tips for coloring the Malawi map
- With 28 districts 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.
- 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.
