VillaJ100 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Doesn't seem to be on any of the 18th century maps. Potentially on the later tithe map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Interesting map. Shows how much housebuilding has been focused on the Sun Belt in recent decades. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 You can't fully accurately represent a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Jesus. Well as close to a correct projection as possible. There are tons of them out there. Thought maybe someone had a link. Didn't know Mack and Mitchell had started posting on VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can help you as what you want can't exist, you need to work out which projection you want, it's not us being technical and awkward Just Mooney "List of Map Projections" and you'll maybe appreciate the dilema 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 It does exist. Which you would see if you looked into it. The type of projection isn't hugely important, but it would be beneficial if it was easy to visualize for kids. If you wanna argue semantics again, don't bother. Doesn't interest me. We all know what I am getting at here whether you like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 10, 2019 Moderator Share Posted October 10, 2019 Are globes accurate in this respect? If not, why not - surely that's possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Globes are, globes transferred to 2D are not Even the Map that Brian posted has flaws especially towards the poles, it's called the Gall-Peters Projection, it preserves the correct surface area per landmass but distorts the shape of each landmass What the OP asks for is still impossible But hey ho, can't help some people 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 If you actually read what I wrote it would make things easier for you. I'll help you. "As close to correct projection as possible". If you need that further explain let me know. But I know you don't, as you understood well what I asked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
