District Boundaries

Name: Ghana District Boundaries
Creator: geoBoundaries
License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The outline of each of Ghana's 260 districts as WKT geometry in a single column, with its region, land area, centroid and the geoBoundaries identifier. These are the same outlines every mapped dataset here is assigned against, so a point that this catalogue says is in Ga East falls inside this polygon. Simplified to about 200 metres: right for mapping and spatial joins, not a surveyed boundary. Sourced from geoBoundaries ADM2, CC BY 4.0. 260 records.
