Short answer
A hatch, not a door
The key belongs to no single map. The wiki's Raider Hatch page describes a hatch as an alternative route to Speranza that remains locked until a Raider Hatch Key is provided, lets one Raider through at a time, and has a terminal with no shutdown timer.
The base map marks hatches on every map. On Buried City they are Collapsed Supermarket Hatch, Train Station Hatch, Highway Overpass Hatch and Old Town Hatch, and the image above uses Highway Overpass Hatch as its example.

Ways to get one
The wiki lists scavenging, crafting, quests and Shani. The key's own wiki page lists it as sold by Shani for 9,000 Coins, 2 per day. Her old Cred price no longer applies: Frozen Trail 2.0 removed Cred from the game, per the patch notes.
The item's wiki page carries this crafting recipe:
| Recipe | Detail |
|---|---|
| Ingredients | 1 Advanced Electrical Components, 3 Sensors |
| Station | Utility Station 2, or Inventory |
| Skill | Traveling Tinkerer |

When to keep it in your pocket
At 0.01 weight it costs you almost nothing to carry, so keep one in your Safe Pocket.
One exception is worth knowing before you pack it: the wiki's Locked Gate page lists no active Raider Hatches during that Blue Gate condition, so on a Locked Gate raid the key has nothing to open.
