A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Āhangarān-e `Olyā uses Plate Carree projection. The Plate Carree projection is a simple cylindrical projection originated in the ancient times. It has straight and equally spaced meridians and parallels that meet at right angles.

All projections from a sphere to a plane are distorted. The drawback of the Plate Carree projection is that it doesn't make an attempt to compensate for these distortions. For the general view of Āhangarān-e `Olyā, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.
