Map Projection Review 33

Projections Robinson Projection Shape: Oval, has latitude and longitude on edges Good Features: balances distortion of shape and size, so fairly accurate Problems: still has some land shape and size distortion

Projections Eckert IV Projection Shape: Equal area map – oval Good Features: Shows sizes of places accurately – good for population density Problems: Distorts shapes near the poles so it has shape distortions near far north and far south

Projections Mercator Projection Shape: Square Good Features: Shows direction between places accurately – particularly near the equator Problems: distorts sizes of continents near poles especially; it has area distortion

Projections Lambert Projection Shape: Circular Good Features: shows size accurately at the center; great for showing poles Problems: Poor with distance or shape

Projections Goode’s Homolosine Projection Shape: Broken shapes Good Features: Shows continents as they compare in size Problems: Distorts shape and size of oceans

Parts of a Map (Page f Atlas) Map Title - gives a name to a map. Normally, the map title is prominently displayed and describes the purpose of the map. Compass Rose - also known as a direction indicator, displays the cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) and sometimes intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest). Map Scale - used to relate distance on the map to real distance on the ground. Most maps display the map scale in statute miles and kilometers, although some maps display the map scale in feet, yards, etc. Map Legend/Key - also known as a key, is used to describe the symbols found on a map. Map Symbols - pictures used on a map to represent information. Lines of Latitude and Lines of Longitude – imaginary lines that measure distance north or south of the equator (lat.) and east or west of the prime meridian (long.) Colors – represent a variety of information on a map, usually explained in the map legend

Types of maps Special Purposes/Thematic Maps A special purpose map provides nearly any imaginable topic with the scope being broad or narrow. General Purpose Map A general purpose map shows information that is often used by map readers.
