About this map of Nigeria
The Nigeria map on this page is drawn from 37 states and the Federal Capital Territory, each one a separate clickable shape. By mapped area the largest is Borno (about 71,400 km², 8% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Lagos at about 3,500 km². The mapped outline reaches from 4°N to 14°N and spans roughly 12° of longitude. Some states are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 39 outlines for 37 states.

Tips for coloring the Nigeria map
- With 37 states 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.
- Your work is saved in this browser as you go, so a reload will not lose the states you have already colored.
- 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.
