About this map of United Kingdom
This map cuts the United Kingdom into 232 regions, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Highland (about 26,000 km², 11% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Isles of Scilly at about 1.7 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 50°N to 61°N and spans roughly 10° of longitude. Some regions are drawn as more than one piece, which is why the map carries 246 outlines for 232 regions.

Tips for coloring the United Kingdom map
- With 232 regions, single-hue palettes read better than rainbow ones. Pick a sequential ramp, then use the legend editor to name the groups rather than the individual regions.
- 112 of the regions are under 1% of the largest one's area. Scroll to zoom before clicking them, or type a name into the search box to jump straight to one.
- 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.
