Independent shop in DowntownDirections

Available from Metsker Maps of Seattle when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

The Cahill Butterfly Map projects the World onto a Tetrahedron (an 8-Sided Dice) and unfolds into an attractive shape. Printed with archival inks on photographic paper. This conformal projection, while not perfectly equal area, has very low distortion which is distributed around the world. North is at the center and South goes every which way. Created by local cartographic firm, Mapthematics! Standard Frame Size. Articles How To Read A Map What is a Cartographer? What are Map Projections? Paper
