  12. What is a Map?

  13. Maps • What is a map? • A map is a representation of the surface of the earth. • At its best, a map will always fail to tell the whole story. • Maps show distance, direction, size, and shape. • Almost always have a special purpose, or theme.

  14. Map Projections • How to transfer data from a roughly spherical object to a flat sheet of paper has puzzled and challenged cartographers for centuries. • Major Dilemma: Equivalence vs. Conformality • Equivalent projection – equal area • Conformal projection – proper angular relationships • Every map projection is a compromise!

  15. Map Projections • Do you prefer a conformal or equivalent map projection? Why? Which is “more accurate”? Equivalent Conformal
