Description

Explore the technical transition of mapping standards with Map Projections: A Working Manual (U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper 1395). This manual details the shift from the long-used Polyconic projection to a diverse range of modern mapping methods utilized by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Learn how different projections serve specific mapping needs, from conformal projections like Transverse Mercator and Lambert Conformal Conic used in topographic quadrangles and State Base Map Series, to equal-area and equidistant projections found in the National Atlas. The text also covers the occasional use of Miller Cylindrical and Van der Grinten projections for convenience. This resource provides essential technical context for understanding how various projections are selected based on scale and purpose in professional cartography.

Key Features

This USGS Professional Paper 1395 provides a working manual on the various map projections used by the U.S. Geological Survey.

The text explains the use of conformal projections such as Transverse Mercator and Lambert Conformal Conic for larger scale maps.

Learn about the application of equal-area and equidistant projections as they appear in the National Atlas.

The manual covers specialized projections including the Miller Cylindrical and the Van der Grinten for specific mapping conveniences.

Detailed information is provided regarding the transition from the Polyconic projection to modern mapping standards.
