1. An equal-area homolinear composite world map having parallels of latitude parallel to the equator and comprising an equatorial map section and polar map sections, said equatorial map section being the equatorial portion of a fusiform equal-area world map, having a graticule prepared according to first mapping equations, said polar map sections being the polar map sections of a flat-polar area world map having a graticule prepared according to second mapping equations, said equatorial section and said polar sections being joined along parallels which, using the same linear mapping scale, are of equal length, and said second mapping equations being derived solely by modifying said first mapping equations of said fusiform map so that the poles of the graticule of said flat-polar map are linear rather than pointed.
