Using Different Types of Maps/Map Projections!
•
•
•
Different types of reference maps can be used to display various
information, which helps geographers study the different themes of
Geography.
Additionally, there are several ways to display the spherical nature of the
globe on a flat surface. These Map Projections enable geographers to show
the curved surface of the earth on a flat map, however a flat map will
usually distort some aspects of the Earth’s surface
Read the packet and answer the questions that follow having to do with
the different types of reference maps and the different map projections
geographers use… (use pages 19-23 0f textbook to answer map projection
questions)
Map Projections
•
•
•
Projections enable geographers to show the curved surface of the earth on a flat
map
Because the earth is a sphere, a flat map can distort some aspects of the earth’s
surface
Use pages 22-23 of your textbook to answer the questions about the different
types of map projections

and negative aspects of using map projections?
Map Projection Review

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

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
