A map projection is a way how to transform points on a Earth to points on a map. This map of Platte City 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 Platte City, this is not a significant problem. The detailed maps use the Mercator projection which preserves the shape of small areas better.
