The Netherlands, mapped in detail

What Statskaart is

Statskaart is an independent, non-commercial project that brings together openly licensed geographic data about the Netherlands. The goal is to make it easy for anyone - whether a resident, researcher, developer, or curious visitor - to explore Dutch geography without navigating dozens of government portals.

Every province has its own dedicated page with administrative boundaries, major settlements, transport connections, postcode areas, and key facts drawn from public datasets. We do not produce or own any of the underlying geographic data. We aggregate, process, and present it.

Where the data comes from

The geographic backbone of Statskaart comes from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Administrative boundaries and statistical data are sourced from Kadaster/PDOK (© Kadaster, CC BY 4.0), CBS Statistics Netherlands (© CBS, CC BY 4.0), and the Dutch open government data portal data.overheid.nl under the applicable open licences.

How it is built

Statskaart runs on Python and Flask, with geographic data stored and queried via PostGIS. Map tiles are served by the OpenStreetMap tile network. The site is designed to be fast, accessible, and usable without JavaScript for all core content.

No API and no accounts

Statskaart is a read-only reference site. There is no public API, no user accounts, and no paid features. If you need raw geographic data, the original sources on our Data Sources.
