Outline of Poland

One of the examples in the package

A layered SVG coloured from a table with a few lines of plain JavaScript: every entity is a path whose id is its official code. The page shows a part of the country: the two levels share the same borders, so they fit without gaps. The package has every entity of every level.

Lesser Poland: the municipalities of Kraków County, coloured by area, among the other counties.

What is in the package

Levels and identifiers

LevelEntitiesIdentifier
country1PL
voivodeships16PL-R-<official code>
counties380PL-P-<official code>
municipalities2,479PL-M-<official code>

Every entity has the same identifier in every file: it is the feature id in GeoJSON and TopoJSON, the id of the path in SVG and the id column of the tables.

  • full: the boundaries as published by the source.
  • 100m: simplified within 100 m and coherent: municipalities, counties and voivodeships share exactly the same border vertices.
  • 1km: simplified within 1 km and coherent like 100m, every level: the whole country on a web map.
  • 10km: simplified within 10 km and coherent, country, voivodeships and counties only: small maps and maps of many countries.
  • At the borders with the neighbouring countries (Czech Republic, Germany and Slovakia) the 100m, 1km and 10km boundaries share the same vertices as in their packages, so the maps fit without gaps or overlaps.
  • light: country, voivodeships and counties only, each level simplified on its own to a small file.
  • GeoJSON: one FeatureCollection per level, WGS84. TopoJSON: all the levels in one topology, shared borders are shared arcs.
  • GeoPackage: data/geopackage/pl.gpkg (139.1 MB), one file for QGIS and ArcGIS with every level at every scale as a layer (municipalities_100m) with its spatial index, and every table of the package.
  • Shapefile: one per level and scale, WGS84, UTF-8; the columns longer than ten characters are shortened (region, province, abbrev).
  • SVG: one file per level and one with every level as a layer, in a Lambert conformal conic projection; they open as layers in Illustrator, Figma and Inkscape.
  • SQL: a script for PostGIS, one for MySQL 8 and one for SQL Server (12.0 MB each). It creates one table with every entity of every level, its 100m boundary in WGS84 and its indexes.
  • JSON: data/json/tree.json (250 KB), the levels nested and sorted by name, without boundaries: what the select boxes of a form need.

Tables

CSV, UTF-8. Names in EN, IT, ES, FR, DE, NL, PT, besides the official one.
