Original Note:
As the article below summarizes: "Gleason’s map is a depiction of the earth as a globe in a north-polar azimuthal equidistant projection and is not proof that the earth is flat." So, the Gleason map is produced as a projection of our Globe, not the other way around. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-gleason-map-earth/fact-check-alexander-gleasons-map-of-the-world-does-not-prove-the-earth-is-flat-idUSL1N31S27S
