MAP PROJECTIONS

1.A great variety of map projections has been devised to provide for the various properties that may be desired in maps. A projection is a sistematic method of drawing the Earth's meridians and parallels on a flat surface. Some projections have equal-area properties, while others provide for conformal delineations in which the shape is practically the same as it would be on a globe. Only on a globe areas and shapes can be represented with true fidelity. On flat maps of very large areas, distortions are inevitable. These effects may be minimized by selecting the projection best suited to the purpose of the map to be produced.

2.Most types of projection can be grouped according to their geometric derivations as cylindrical, conic, or azimuthal. Terms such as network, graticule, or grid might have been preferable to describe the transposition of meridians and parallels from globe to flat surface, since

92

few systems are actually derived by projection, and most in fact have been formulated by analytic and mathematical processes.

3.The term projection is well established and has some merit in helping the layman to understand the problems and solutions. The theory of trigonometric surveying was disclosed in 1533 by Gemma Frisius, a Flemish mathematician. In 1569 Gerardus Mercator solved the projection problem by producing his famous world map with the meridians vertical and parallels having increased spacing in proportion to the secant (a trigonometric function) of the latitude. Edward Wright published mathematical tables (1599) giving the basis of Mercator's projection.

4.Cylindrical projection trat the Earth as a cylinder on which parallels are horizontal lines and meridians appear as vertical lines. The familiar Mercator's projection is of this class and has many advantages in spite of the great distortions that it causes in their higher latitudes. Compass bearings may be plotted as straight segments on these projections, which have been traditionally used for nautical charts.
