About this map of Switzerland
The Switzerland map on this page is drawn from 26 cantons, each one a separate clickable shape. By mapped area the largest is Graubünden (about 7,000 km², 17% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Basel-Stadt at about 15 km². That is a 476-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 46°N to 48°N and spans roughly 4° of longitude. Some cantons are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 31 outlines for 26 cantons.

Tips for coloring the Switzerland map
- With 26 cantons 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.
- Give the map a title and name each color in the legend editor — a colored map without a legend needs a caption to explain itself.
- 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.
