All maps have four features that can be distorted that include: Shape, Size (area), distance, and direction. The reason for this being that there is no perfect way to represent a 3-D object on a 2-D plane. Each different type of map sacrifices one or more of these properties to make a flat map. .

Map Projections A Tutorial Created by the GIS Research & Map Collection Ball State University Libraries A destination for research, learning, and friends What is a map projection? Map makers attempt For most of the twentieth century, maps were indispensable. They were how governments understood, managed, and defended their territory, and during the two world wars they were produced by the hundreds of millions. Cartographers and journalists predicted the dawning of a “map-minded age,” where increasingly state-of-the-art maps would become everyday tools. By the century’s end, however, there had been decisive shift in mapping practices, as the dominant methods of land surveying and print publication were increasingly displaced by electronic navigation systems.             In After the Map, William Rankin argues that although this shift did not render traditional maps obsolete, it did radically change our experience of geographic knowledge, from the God’s-eye view of the map to the embedded subjectivity of GPS. Likewise, older concerns with geographic truth and objectivity have been upstaged by a new emphasis on simplicity, reliability, and convenience. After the Map shows how this change in geographic perspective is ultimately a transformation of the nature of territory, both social and political.
