Cahill-Keyes World Map by Others
A gallery of 9 different versions: published, and drafts in progress
For
comparison, these images — whose originals vary from 10 inches to 132 feet
— are each resized to ca. 35 cm long (14"), ca. 1:115 million, more or less,
depending on your monitor's size and resolution. (I selected a setting of
960 pixels in a 965 pixel frame, so as to show the entire world span on a
screen.) Until I make a slide show, you may want to open each world map in
a separate tab, then click from one to the next to appreciate their variations
at a glance. There are also three extra frames at the end showing detail
close-ups of selected map areas.

6) Joe Roubal: 1º satellite composite, a jpeg screenshot, reduced from a 1,374 MB 1/10 million tiff, 4 m (13') long: counterpart of his award-winning Cahill-Keyes 1º globe. (This superb incomplete draft is a close approximation of the Cahill-Keyes Octant Graticule, but lacking its "supple zone" adjustments to prevent kinks at the octant joints.)
