Administrative divisions of American Samoa

Map of the districts of American Samoa.
Note: the scale of distances between districts are not respected by this map:

• the unorganized Swains Island is much further (to the North) of Tutuila (the largest island of American Samoa);
• the islands in the district of Manu'a are further (to the West) of Tutuila;
• the unorganized Rose Atoll is much further (to the South) of the island of Ta'u (the largest island of the district of Manu'a).

American Samoa is administratively divided into 3 districts and 2 "unorganized" atolls.

The districts and unorganized atolls are subdivided into 66 villages.
