I’ve known about the way to use an offset square quilt projection<\/a> to create the cross design, but never made a full map until now. I can theoretically use this projection style on any future map— quite cool. I wonder what geography should be crucified next? {chuckle}<\/p>\n

The street that creates the cross’s frame is 16th Street, which up until 1884 was the prime meridian on American maps.
\n###update– actually I found that this is not correct– not ALL maps, just some maps<\/i><\/p>\n
