• Non-Euclidean geometryRelated: Map projections expose the distortions that arise when curved surfaces are represented on planes.

• Geodetic datumRelated: Map coordinates depend on a datum as well as a projection.

• GeographyRelated: Maps make spatial relationships visible while selecting what to include and emphasize.

• Similar trianglesRelated: Map scale applies proportional measurement to representations of geographic space.

• Political geographyRelated: Maps represent political space while also shaping how territories and borders are understood.
