It includes the telegraph line across the Atlantic Ocean, even though it was not operational in the year this map was published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can read more about map projections in this newsletter article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/newsletter.mapasmilhaud.com\/p\/proyecciones-cartograficas-deformar\">Cartographic projections: distorting the Earth in order to represent it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/texashistory.unt.edu\/ark:\/67531\/metapth190399\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">World map in North Polar Star projection based on an idea by Dr G.
