Interrupted Maps
In some ways, all 2D maps of Earth are interrupted at some point, even if it’s just along the antimeridian at 180°. Interruptions are often in areas of less interest e.g. oceans for a land-focused map.
Butterfly Maps
The most common way of laying out an octahedron’s eight equilateral triangles is known as a “butterfly map”.
The butterfly maps were all automatically generated using the geo.polyhedron D3 plugin.
Retroazimuthal Projections
A retroazimuthal projection shows the true azimuth of the centre from all other points.
