The book delves into the evolution of map projections utilized by the U.S. Geological Survey, highlighting the transition from the Polyconic projection to various conformal, equal-area, and equidistant projections for different mapping needs. It introduces innovative projections like the Space Oblique Mercator, designed for satellite mapping, and explores the implications of mapping extraterrestrial bodies.
