Maps

Blank outline maps and more


We have developed three essential, high-quality, blank outline maps to accompany Part 1 and Part 2 of the Student's Friend.

The Student's Friend is a concise narrative of world history that may be used in place of a traditional textbook, available free on this website.


High-quality maps from Student's Friend:

The two maps to be used with Part 1 are:

-a map of the world without political boundaries

(country borders not shown)


-a map of the Eastern hemisphere without political boundaries

Shows rivers associated with early ancient civilizations


The map to be used with Part 2 is:

-a map of the world with current political boundaries

(country borders are shown)


Directions:

The maps are in pdf format, which means you will need a pdf reader such as Adobe Acrobat (available free) to open them. When printing, you might wish to set your printer to landscape format and high-quality print mode. Print at 100% (full size). If you select "fit to page," the map size may be somewhat reduced.  These are high-definition maps with large file sizes meant to serve as masters for making student copies; they might take some time to download depending on your connection speed.
