Which capitals differ from their department’s name?

Carazo’s is Jinotepe, Chontales’s Juigalpa, Madriz’s Somoto, Nueva Segovia’s Ocotal and Río San Juan’s San Carlos; the North Caribbean Coast’s is Bilwi, also called Puerto Cabezas, and the South’s Bluefields.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the departments and regions are numbered and pupils write each name and capital, with the answers on page two.

Can I print it larger?

Yes: choose A3 for more room for the names. The lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.

Are capitals with the same name as the department written out?

Yes. On Nicaragua’s map every capital is named beside its dot, León and Granada too, so the sheet has 34 names: 17 divisions and 17 capitals.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The map is made in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the sheet.

Example

Example: Nicaragua’s 17 departments and regions with all 17 capitals named

A volunteer preparing for a school-building trip near Estelí prints the map to learn where the towns are. The page’s settings on A4 landscape (297 × 210 mm) give 17 division names, 17 capital dots with Managua ringed, and 17 capital names: here every capital is named, even where it shares its department’s name. 34 names, none on a leader line, on A4, US Letter or A3.

10 capitals share their department’s name, so the 7 to learn are Ocotal, Somoto, Jinotepe, Juigalpa, San Carlos, Bilwi and Bluefields.
For a quiz, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” numbers them from 1 Nueva Segovia to 17 Río San Juan, with the answers on page two.
