Item Description: | Oriented with north to the bottom. "Originally designed for the Amherst College Mead Art Museum. Created for the Museum at 7 feet wide, ODT has produced a version for your home that fits stock size 24''x36'' poster frames."--http://odtmaps.com/detail.asp?product_id=Mead-HOBO-special-14&Contents=TAB2 "The Hobo-Dyer Equal Area projection map belongs to the family of Cylindrical Equal Area projections in which the latitude and longitude lines form a rectangular grid... In the present case the "cylinder" is assumed to wrap round the globe and cut through it at 37 1/2° norht and south. In order to preserve the equal area property the shapes of the landmasses become progressively flattened towards the poles, but shapes between 45° north and south are well preserved." |
