West Africa No-Borders Map Quiz – Find the Countries | Smurdy
Test your knowledge of West Africa by finding each country on a map with borders hidden.
What this West Africa quiz covers
West Africa runs from the Atlantic coast into the Sahel and the inland countries behind the Gulf of Guinea. The group includes Senegal, Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, and many smaller neighbors.
How the no-borders map quiz works
The quiz names a country, but the usual political borders are removed. Click where you think it belongs by using coastlines, neighboring landforms, distance, and your memory of the regional layout. This set covers all 16 countries.
Gameplay tip: Use coastlines and the positions of nearby large countries as anchors before judging smaller inland areas.
What makes this group challenging
The coastline contains many smaller countries packed between larger neighbors, while several inland states have similar broad shapes.
Study tip
Trace the coast from Senegal to Nigeria, then use that coastal order to place Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger inland.
