The Albers equal-area conic projection, or Albers projection , is a conic, equal area map projection that uses two standard parallels. Although scale and shape are not preserved, distortion is minimal between the standard parallels.
The Albers projection is used by the United States Geological Survey and the United States Census Bureau. Most of the maps in the National Atlas of the United States use the Albers projection. It is also one of the standard projections used by the government of British Columbia, and the sole governmental projection for the Yukon.
