GS50 projection
text:
GS50, also hyphenated as GS-50, is a map projection that was developed by John Parr Snyder of the USGS in 1982. The GS50 projection provides a conformal projection suitable only for maps of the 50 United States. Scale varies less than 2% throughout the area covered. Distortion is very low as well. It is not a standard projection in the sense that it uses complex polynomials rather than a trigonometric formulation, though it was developed from an oblique stereographic projection.
