How are the departments named?

In Spanish, as Uruguayan maps write them: Cerro Largo, Río Negro, Treinta y Tres, Tacuarembó.

Can I mark the capitals?

Yes — tick “Mark the capitals” for a dot at each department capital, such as Melo, Fray Bentos and Mercedes, with Montevideo ringed as the national capital.

What is drawn in grey?

Argentina and Brazil, around it, are drawn pale as neighbours.

Is there a worksheet?

Yes. “Numbered, to write the names” numbers the 19 departments from 1 Artigas in the north to 19 Maldonado, with the answers on page two; “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” adds the capitals’ dots and a line for each capital.

Example

Uruguay’s 19 departments on US Letter, numbered north to south for a quiz

A Spanish teacher at a US high school, planning a unit on the Río de la Plata, chooses US Letter. In the names style the map is upright, 216 × 279 mm, and all 19 departments are named inside their borders with no leader lines; Montevideo, the smallest, gets the smallest type. Argentina and Brazil are drawn pale around it.

“Numbered, to write the names” gives uruguay-worksheet.pdf, numbered as in the table. On US Letter its two pages are landscape (279 × 216 mm), the 19 lines beside the map; on A4 they are upright.
Ticking “Mark the capitals” adds 19 dots, Montevideo ringed; 18 are named, such as Melo, Fray Bentos and Mercedes, and Montevideo is named once, as its department.

No.	Department	No.	Department
1	Artigas	11	Lavalleja
2	Paysandú	12	Treinta y Tres
3	Salto	13	Colonia
4	Tacuarembó	14	San José
5	Rivera	15	Montevideo
6	Cerro Largo	16	Florida
7	Soriano	17	Canelones
8	Río Negro	18	Maldonado
9	Flores	19	Rocha
10	Durazno

A labelled map for the projector and a two-page quiz with its key. The departments are named in Spanish with their accents, as students will see them on Uruguayan signs: Paysandú, Río Negro, Tacuarembó, San José.

How it works

Pick a style: blank with the borders for a quiz, the outline only for drawing, or with the names.
Tick “Mark the capitals” to add a dot for each capital, and choose the paper.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
