Modern sattelite maps obviously ensure we know the truth! Quite fascinating from a historical point of view.

USFWS paid for some of the start up costs,but i think its the library there that has really carried the torch all these years. I always dreamed they would be accessible like this someday.

They have rebuilt their online collection so that the online topo maps work in a Google maps application as well as in software that can read WMS data. visit http://magic.lib.uconn.edu/mash_up/topos.html to view the data.

It would be like trying to make a ball out of a flat sheet of paper. Google "Map Projections". Find the projection that would work best for you. Then Google the name of the Projection. That would be my recommendation for you. Good luck. Cheral, I have no idea how you’d do that. It would be like trying to make a ball out of a flat sheet of paper. Google “Map Projections”.

I am looking for a cut & fold design of the world map in order to transfer land masses to a sphere accurately. Does anyone have one of these, they used to be quite common but I can't find one anywhere since satelite imagery became available. I’m a sculptor planning to make a globe.
