This week, we learned more about projections. We learned how they work, how to identify the best projection for your intended purpose, how to create custom projections, and the science and history behind projections. Below, I created a map of my home state of Nebraska. I used the Nebraska State Plane Projection and added a grid and graticules.
This projection is appropriate because it is the only State Plane projection for the state of Nebraska and is therefore developed specifically for general use with the state. This is a general use map where we wish to preserve shape and area as best as possible, so this selection makes the most sense.
