Representation Iraqi Map Lambert Conical Conformal Projection with 2 Stranded Parallels
Abstract
This research has computed the rectangular coordinates of points on map of Iraqfrom geographical coordinates by conical conformal projection with two standardparallels ( St1, St2 ) at (30º N , 36º N) in this work the computations included the effectof scale factor at all parallels along the map of Iraq and represent it graficaly to show thedistribution of error in scale factor .The distribution of values of scale factor at universaltransver Mercator projection ( U. T.M ) was drawn to show the comparison .om thecomparison and the results obtained it can be seen that the Lambert conical conformalprojection is a suitable projection to present ; Iraqi topographic maps with accuratevalues .
