Hobo–Dyer projection

The Hobo–Dyer map projection is a normal cylindrical equal-area projection, with standard parallels (there is no north-south or east-west distortion) at 37.5° north and south of the equator.

The map was commissioned in 2002 by Bob Abramms and Howard Bronstein of ODT Inc. and drafted by cartographer Mick Dyer,[1] as a modification of the 1910 Behrmann projection.

[2] To that end, the map stretches the low latitudes vertically less than Peters, but at the price of greater compression near the poles.

In 2002, the Carter Center used the Hobo–Dyer projection in a map of its global locations that it circulated to mark its founder Jimmy Carter's receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize.
