Sulawesi Maps and Orientation

(Sulawesi, Sunda Islands, Indonesia)

One of Indonesia's major Sunda Islands, Sulawesi is sandwiched between both Borneo and also the Maluku Islands (Moluccas). Many smaller islands are dotted around the coastline, such as those of Banggai, Buton, Manui, Peleng and Taliabu.

If you look at Sulawesi on a map, you will immediately be struck by its very unusual shape, since it really is little more than a collection of peninsulas. The main regions of Sulawesi are named North, Central, South and South-East.
