Description
“This map is one way that best depicts the world in relation to San Francisco and the Bay Area. It locates San Francisco at the exact center and shows other important cities at their shortest and most direct route from this area. These ‘great circle’ paths are followed as closely as practical by ships and aircraft and used for the strongest radio and satellite communication links.” – Text, lower left.
This innovative map projection places San Francisco and the Bay Area at the center of the globe. One hundred and fifty important international cities are labeled, plotted via straight points from the focus. The bottom quarter offers extensive background information on the projection, alignment, scale, and other cartographic details.
Map designed by William Blackwell, with input on the text from Julia Cheever.Copyrighted by William Blackwell in 1986 and published in San Francisco by CartoGraphics.
