This template uses Lua:

This template can be used to create an infobox for an article about a forest. It can be embedded in other infoboxes to provide addition data. For more information on this option read Infobox Embedding.

Usage

If both a photo and a map are to be displayed the photo will appear at the top of the infobox and the map at the bottom. If only a map is to be displayed then the map will appear at the top.

Map display method

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of map templates. This method requires the geographic coordinates to be entered using the parameters below and assigning map the name of the area covered by one of a set of location map templates. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters for {{Location map}} and reading the documentation for that template might be helpful.

The coordinates and related information must be entered using the of parameters below. This information is the same as that used by the {{coord}} template.

Parameter	Definition
`map`	Name of location map template. For example, specify `France` to use the values in Module:Location map/data/France. See Template:Location map#Available map templates.
`map_width`	Width to display the map image. Default is 250, maximum is 264. For example, `map_width=220` (not `map_width=220px`).
`relief`	Any non-blank value (`yes`, `1`, etc.) will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. For additional information, see Template:Location map#Relief parameter.
`map_alt`	Alternative text for the map image, see WP:ALT.
`map_caption`	Text displayed below the map image, if required.
`mark`	The image to use for the marker. The default is Red pog.svg. See Template:Location map for more information.
`marker_width`	The display width of the marker image in pixels. Default = 8.
`label`	Text that will be displayed next to the marker. Works with `label_position` below. Seldom used.
`label_position`	Specifies the position of a label with respect to the marker. Valid values are `left`, `right`, `top` and `bottom`. See `label` above.
The parameters below are used to enter the data that can be entered in {{Coord}}.
`coordinates`	The latitude and longitude. Use the {{Coord}} template.
`coords_ref`	Used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using `<ref>...</ref>` tags.

Location map templates can be found using these sources:

List of templates - 1050 templates available when the list was generated.

Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.

Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map - a search that might help.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info - another search that might help.

The value you need to assign to the parameter, map, is the area name. The location map for France is Module:Location map/data/France. In this case specify map=France.
