The Krovak Projection was created and used in Czechoslovakia in the early part of the 20th century. It is an oblique version of the Lambert Conformal Conic projections with a pseudo standard parallel that intersects the centerline of the projection at a defined azimuth. The projection accurately preserves scale and area along the pseudo standard parallel. It is primarily used in the Czech Republic.
