Linear Distortion Maps

Below are maps showing linear distortion and performance statistics for preliminary designs of SPCS2022 zones in the conterminous U.S. (CONUS) and Alaska (click on the maps to get higher resolution versions). Maps of existing SPCS 83 zones are also provided to compare with SPCS2022. Because SPCS2022 is still under development, those maps give the date when any zone shown was last updated.

Not all maps use the same distortion symbology, because distortion can vary greatly in different zones. However, the symbology is the same for adjacent SPCS2022 and SPCS 83 maps to facilitate comparison.

Maps for individual states and territories in CONUS, the Pacific, and the Caribbean will soon be available for download, along with the distortion raster and zone polygon datasets used to create the maps.
