N2 - <p>This open-access dataset contains 100 high-resolution PDF maps representing European port city territories. Each map corresponds to a specific port city territory located along one of four seas— the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Atlantic Ocean, or Mediterranean Sea. Filenames include the name of the sea and the port’s UN/LOCODE. In some cases, a single territory includes multiple ports or port cities.</p><p><br></p><p>These maps are derived from the <em>Port City Atlas</em> (2023) and are now made available as a separate dataset to enhance reusability. By providing the maps individually, they become easier to incorporate into a wide range of research, educational, and professional contexts. Users can georeference the maps for GIS applications, use them as base layers in further studies, or combine them with other spatial data for comparative analyses.</p><p>In addition to the 100 individual territory maps, the dataset includes three edition files:</p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Port_City_Atlas_Overview.pdf</strong> – a geographical overview of all mapped territories.</li><li><strong>Port_City_Atlas_Port-City_Territories.pdf</strong> – a complete list of ports and port cities, with corresponding codes.</li><li><strong>Port_City_Atlas_Legend.pdf</strong> - a detailed legend including the sources used for the making of the maps.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This dataset complements the <em>Port City Atlas</em> and is intended as a reusable resource for anyone interested in port cities, maritime geography, spatial planning, and coastal development.</p>
