Aeronautical chart on Lambert conformal conic projection with standard parallels at 33°N and 45°N. A Lambert conformal conic projection (LCC) is a conic map projection used for aeronautical charts, portions of the State Plane Coordinate System, and many national and regional mapping systems.
Lambert's projection is the basis for the cylindrical equal-area projection family. Lambert chose the equator as the parallel of no distortion. [ 2 ] By multiplying the projection's height by some factor and dividing the width by the same factor, the regions of no distortion can be moved to any desired pair of parallels north and south of the ...
English: Location map of North America with national borders. Projection: Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection. Area of interest: N: 90.0° N; S: 5.0° N; W: -140. ...
Most state plane zones are based on either a transverse Mercator projection or a Lambert conformal conic projection. The choice between the two map projections is based on the shape of the state and its zones. States that are long in the east–west direction are typically divided into zones that are also long east–west.
This is a summary of map projections that have articles of their own on Wikipedia or that are otherwise notable. Because there is no limit to the number of possible map projections, [1] there can be no comprehensive list.
Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection of the world; standard parallel at 0° The Lambert (standard parallel at 0°, normal) cylindrical equal-area projection with Tissot's indicatrix of deformation. In cartography, the normal cylindrical equal-area projection is a family of normal cylindrical, equal-area map projections.
English: Map of the world in a Lambert cylindrical equal-area projection with Tissot's Indicatrix of deformation. Each red circle/ellipse has a radius of 500 km. Scale : 1:5,000,000
In cartography, a conformal map projection is one in which every angle between two curves that cross each other on Earth (a sphere or an ellipsoid) is preserved in the image of the projection; that is, the projection is a conformal map in the mathematical sense. For example, if two roads cross each other at a 39° angle, their images on a map ...
