Which city is North Holland’s capital?

Haarlem. Amsterdam, in the same province, is marked too, ringed as the capital of the Netherlands; The Hague, the seat of government, is South Holland’s capital.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the provinces 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.

Why do Groningen and Utrecht have only a dot?

Their capitals have the province’s own name, so the map does not write the same word twice: the province’s name is there, and the dot marks the city.

Is anything uploaded?

Example

Example: 12 provinces, 13 dots — Amsterdam is on the map but is no province’s capital

Someone who has just moved to Utrecht prints the map to learn the provinces. The page’s settings on A4 upright name the 12 provinces and put a dot at each capital: 13 dots, as Amsterdam is ringed as the national capital. A capital with its province’s own name is a dot alone, so the sheet has 23 names: 12 provinces and 11 capitals.

Every name fits beside its province or dot on A4, US Letter and A3: no leader lines are needed, so A3 is only for a larger wall map.
For a test, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals” numbers the provinces from 1 Friesland to 12 Limburg, with a Province and a Capital line each, and the answers on page two.
