Burkina Faso

Extracts data of Burkina Faso from the OpenstreetMaps project for free

OpenStreetMap vector data for Burkina Faso enables GIS professionals, developers, and researchers to perform detailed spatial analysis, create navigation systems, and produce accurate cartography for this landlocked West African country. This region features a flat, undulating terrain transitioning from the Sahelian grasslands in the north to the Sudanese savanna in the south, offering distinct landscape challenges for mapping. The site provides a daily updated .pbf file for direct import into tools like osm2pgsql, while an optional paid upgrade includes a ready-to-use QGIS 3 project with pre-styled GeoPackage layers and icon sets to accelerate local workflows.
