Inside the Netherlands map
The Netherlands is drawn here as 15 individually colorable provinces. By mapped area the largest is Noord-Brabant (about 5,200 km², 14% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Saba at about 5.1 km². The two differ by more than a thousandfold on the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 12°N to 53°N and spans roughly 76° of longitude. Some provinces are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 21 outlines for 15 provinces.

Tips for coloring the Netherlands map
- With 15 provinces 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 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.
- Your work is saved in this browser as you go, so a reload will not lose the provinces you have already colored.
