Maps of Guinea-Bissau

Guinea-Bissau is a West African country with an area of 36,125 sq. km. As observed on the physical map of the country, it has a coastline on the Atlantic Ocean. Most of Guinea-Bissau is low-lying. The coastal plains with Guinean mangrove swamps lead to flat savanna and forests inland. Due to the flat nature of the terrain, tidal waters reach as far as 100 km inland. 

The southeastern part of the country is relatively high and dominated by the Fouta Djallon plateau with an elevation of around 180 m. From the western slopes of this plateau, Boe hills arise and extend westwards for a short distance. 

The highest point of the country is an unnamed hill at 984 ft (300 m); the lowest point of Guinea-Bissau is the Atlantic Ocean (0 m)

Corubal, Geba, and Cacheu are some of the major rivers draining Guinea-Bissau and have been marked on the map. 

Off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, is the Bijagos Archipelago. It is a group of some eighteen major islands and dozens of smaller ones that extends along the Atlantic Ocean coastline. The Orango Islands National Park is its main attraction.
