Description: Detailed large political map of Trinidad and Tobago showing names of capital city, towns, states, provinces and boundaries with neighbouring countries.
Map of Trinidad and Tobago, featuring cities, major towns, parishes, and a simplified road network. This detailed map makes it easy to find the capital Port of Spain, the borough of San Fernando, the regional center Arima, and Tobago's capital Scarborough, along with coastal villages and the sea borders that frame the islands. Use it as the best map style guide for quick place lookups and classroom study.
Trinidad and Tobago, although they look separated on the map, are a two-island nation at the southern end of the Caribbean. The larger island is Trinidad. The smaller island to the northeast is Tobago. North of Trinidad, you see the Caribbean Sea. East of both islands is the Atlantic Ocean. West of Trinidad lies the Gulf of Paria and the Dragon's Mouths straits, which lead toward the coast of Venezuela. English is the official language, and the currency is the Trinidad and Tobago dollar. Airports shown on the map are near Port of Spain in Trinidad and near Crown Point in Tobago.
Trinidad fills the big panel. Coast labels help you keep bearings: Caribbean Sea to the north, Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Gulf of Paria to the west.
Tobago appears in the upper right inset. It sits northeast of Trinidad and has ring roads that loop through its coastal towns.
Historic county-style parishes divide Trinidad and match the colored regions on the map: Saint George, Caroni, Victoria, Saint Patrick, Nariva, Mayaro, Saint Andrew, and Saint David. Significant urban places are marked with dots and names. The national capital and borough capitals use larger symbols.
Saint George wraps around the northwest peninsula and holds the national capital.
Port of Spain is the capital city of the Gulf of Paria. It appears as a red square. Just north, the road climbs through Diego Martin and Maraval to the north coast.
East along the urban corridor, you meet San Juan, Laventille, and Arima. Arima is labeled inside Saint George near the foothills and is a key gateway to the island's interior.
The north shore of Saint George touches the Caribbean Sea with names such as Blanchisseuse, which sits close to the parish line with Saint David.
Caroni spreads south of Port of Spain along the central plain.
Main towns printed on the map include Chaguanas, Waterloo, Caparo, and Tabaquite.
The western edge of Caroni borders the Gulf of Paria. This is the easy route between the capital and the south.
Victoria covers the south-central band where the map shows the borough capital and several market towns.
San Fernando sits on the Gulf of Paria and is clearly labeled.
Inland, you can follow names such as Princes Town, Debe, Penal, Barrackpore, and Gasparillo.
This parish links the west coast corridor to the southeast interior.
Saint Patrick fills the southwest corner and runs to the nation's western cape.
Look for Point Fortin on the coast, with La Brea, Fyzabad, and Siparia inland.
The coastline bends toward Cedros and Icacos at the far southwest tip, facing the Gulf of Paria.
Nariva sits east of Victoria and Caroni.
The map highlights Rio Claro and Poole, connected to the southeast by local roads.
Nariva forms a land bridge between the central uplands and the east coast.
Mayaro stretches along the southeast shoreline.
Easy names to spot are Mayaro, Guayaguayare, and the curve of Mayaro Bay.
The southeast corner points toward Cape Casa Cruz on the map's edge.
Saint Andrew rises from the central corridor to the Atlantic coast.
Sangre Grande is the main town. Eastward, the coast road reaches Manzanilla and Matura.
Inland, Valencia marks the fork where you can turn toward either coast.
Saint David caps the island in the northeast.
The map prints Matelot and Grande Riviere along the wild north coast.
This is the transition to the island's highest coastal headlands facing the open Atlantic.
The Tobago inset shows a smaller island northeast of Trinidad.
Scarborough is the capital of Tobago on the south coast.
West of the airport symbol is Crown Point. North and east along the loop, you pass Plymouth, Roxborough, and Charlotteville.
The waters around Tobago are the Caribbean Sea on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east.
West coast corridor, Gulf of Paria. Port of Spain to Chaguanas, San Fernando, and Point Fortin is the busiest north-south strip.
East-west corridor. From Port of Spain through San Juan and Arima to Sangre Grande. This is the quickest way to reach the Atlantic coast at Manzanilla.
North coast drive. A scenic route runs from Maraval to Blanchisseuse, then on toward Matelot and Grande Riviere.
Southeast link. From Princes Town and Rio Claro to Mayaro and Guayaguayare along the Atlantic edge.
Tobago ring road. Start at Scarborough, continue west to Plymouth, swing north to Charlotteville, then down to Roxborough and back to the capital.
The Caribbean Sea lies north and northwest of Trinidad and around Tobago's west side.
The Atlantic Ocean borders the east coasts of both islands.
The Gulf of Paria sits between Trinidad and the South American mainland. The Dragon's Mouths are the straits at the northwest tip of Trinidad that open to the Caribbean.
