This is the most exciting and beautiful new map we've seen in quite a while. It is a 14-sided polyhedral projection addressing both distortion and partitioning of land masses. The butterfly layout combines legibility and low distortion. This prototype (almost-equal-area) wall map (1996 version) is available now at a special price. An equal area map is in production (request notification directly from Steve Waterman when the revised map is ready: Email swaterman@watermanpolyhedron.com) Paper, rolled, tubed - 26.5" x 38"

Waterman Butterfly V-1 Prototype Map

Steve Waterman, a self-taught theoretical nuclear physicist, created a 14-sided polyhedral map in 1996 based on the mathematics of sphere-packing. The equal-area version of his map is currently being refined by a team of mathematicians and cartographers and is in production. This beta version of the Waterman Map, available for purchase now, is an almost-equal area map. Waterman postcards and magnets are also available.
