Maps of Norwegian municipalities in sf format

We package the map datasets for Norwegian municipalities, taken from Geonorge, as simple features objects. They suit the sf package and ggplot2::geom_sf(). This data is licensed under Creative Commons BY 4.0 (CC BY 4.0).

Usage

nor_municip_map_b2024_default_sf

nor_municip_map_b2020_default_sf

nor_municip_map_b2019_default_sf

Format

Each dataset is an sf data frame with one row per municipality:

geometry

MULTIPOLYGON geometry column. Geographic coordinates on WGS84 ("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs"), which sf treats as equal to EPSG:4326. The objects carry no EPSG authority code, so sf::st_crs(x)$epsg is NA.

location_code

Municipality code (e.g. "municip_nor0301").

An object of class sf (inherits from data.frame) with 356 rows and 2 columns.

An object of class sf (inherits from data.frame) with 422 rows and 2 columns.
