1. Properties of Maps Conformal Equivalent Equidistant Azimuthal
Shape of land areas are preserved
Equivalent
Areas of landforms are in correct proportions
Equidistant
Relational distance is in correct proportions
Azimuthal
True direction is preserved

2. Always Remember
The only “map” that comes close to preserving ALL properties is a globe!
Any flat map must necessarily choose among levels of distortion for various properties!
Usually, maps preserve only one or two!
