Updated : here is what I know about his map

The picture was taken on the Air Force One Eisenhower plane

Statement by the President on the Death of Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd.​

Project High Jump is what Byrd was know for as were his trips over Antarctica

Seems to be a one off as I cannot find another similar map to this one .

I checked all those maps, on amazon and the web but none match up , that is why I am posting to see if anyone has any ideas on this particular map ?

Are we looking at a Flat earth map or something similar?

It looks like a map of distances from a point centred on somewhere near Washington, all superimposed over lines of lat & long, with everything distorted to give a 2D image.

That’s it
It’s not a “flat earth map”
Cartographers call these types of projections: “equidistant azimuthal projection,” and in the case of the presidential plane this projection is centered on the United States

White rings show distance from Washington, D.C.; blue rings show distance from the north pole.

White rings show distance from Washington, D.C.; blue rings show distance from the north pole.

Sorry but I think the blue rings are latitude, look to the right of South pacific ocean and then north and south.

Correct again mate

You're absolutely right.

Pretty much the same thing, though. Distance expressed as angles on the surface of the sphere.
