Selection of generalized conformal projections for small scale maps

This thesis deals with map projection selection of small scale maps using the Generalized Formulae for Conformal Projections and the isocol method. This is accomphshed by selecting a numerical coefficient of the formulae whose isocol fits most of the mapped area and whose vatu~ 1s the least of all other numerical coeffici~nts. The isocol is obtained from the application of the general scale length formula. The implementation of the selection is carried out by the application of a compu~er program called the Generalized Conformal Projection Program which has been specially written for this purpose.
