•Oblique Mercator
•Oblique Mercator projections are used to
portray regions along great circles. Distances are true along a great circle
defined by the tangent line formed by the sphere and the oblique cylinder,
elsewhere distance, shape, and areas are distorted. Once used to map Landsat
images (now replaced by the Space Oblique Mercator), this projection is used
for areas that are long, thin zones at a diagonal with respect to north, such
as Alaska State Plane Zone 5001.
