Yes — all 14 departments and all 14 capitals are named inside the map on A4, US Letter and A3; none needs a leader line.

In what order are the departments numbered?

As the map is read, from the north-west: 1 Santa Ana, 2 Chalatenango, 3 Ahuachapán, 4 Sonsonate, 5 La Libertad, 6 San Salvador … 13 Usulután, 14 San Miguel, on every paper.

El Salvador’s 14 departments and capitals: the map and the answer key

A Spanish teacher in Houston quizzes her class on Central America. This page’s map prints landscape on A4: the 14 departments named, a dot at each capital with its name, San Salvador ringed — 28 labels, none on a leader line, on A4, Letter or A3.

Every capital is named, also the nine that share their department’s name, so Santa Ana appears twice: on the department and by its dot.
For the quiz, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals (worksheet + answers)”: two landscape pages, the map numbered as in the table with the dots kept, then the answers.
The numbers run from the north-west, 1 Santa Ana to 14 San Miguel, the same on every paper.

No.	Department	Capital
1	Santa Ana	Santa Ana
2	Chalatenango	Chalatenango
3	Ahuachapán	Ahuachapán
4	Sonsonate	Sonsonate
5	La Libertad	Santa Tecla
6	San Salvador	San Salvador
