The Lambert Conformal Conic (2 parallel) projection is a map projection
in which the scale is true along two standard parallels, and the true
shape of small areas is preserved. Parallels are unequally spaced arcs
of concentric circles spaced closer to each other near the center of the
map. The meridians are equally spaced and intersect the parallels at right
angles. The scale is true along two standard parallels.
The Lambert Conformal Conic projection is widely
used in atlases, in aeronautical charts, and in plane coordinate systems
in surveying. It is also used in the State Plane Coordinate System for
states with large east-west extents.
