This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons. The description on its description page there is copied below.

This locator map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.


It is recommended to name the SVG file “Faroe map with villages, streets, straits, firths, ferry harbours and major moutains.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.

Summary

  • Map of the Faroe Islands with:
  • Cities and villages (yellow fields, including cultivated area). Places with a black dot are abandoned (e.g. Skarð on Kunoy)
  • Streets between the places (red lines, if dotted, it's a tunnel.)
  • Some major mountains (black triangles with height in metres)
  • Ferry harbours (anchor). Note, that the Faroes have many more harbours (almost at each village at the coast). To see the ferry lines, please check the current map here: http://www.ssl.fo/ferdaatlan/images/fkort2004.jpg
  • Major firths and straits (blue). Note, that a fjørður in Faroese is not only a firth (fjord) but can also be a strait.
  • Major lakes are captioned
  • What is missing on this map: Municipality borders, churches, lighthouses, heliports, hospitals, post offices, hotels and camping sites, as well as height lines, but the scale of the map doesn't allow this (IMHO).
