The above map shows the three different map projection. Why do we project map? Maps are projected because of the need to represent the surface of the earth as accurately as possible. Different methods of Map projections have been developed and adopted over time but this week the class project focuses on Albers, UTM 16 N, and State Plane using Florida counties as the case study for the projections.
We zeroed in on four counties in Florida (Alachua, Escambia, Miami-Dade, and Polk) and compared the area size and shape that the three projection formats generated.
