GEOGRAPHY
But to convey the likeness of a curved, three-dimensional globe, the Robinson projection must in fact distort shape, area, scale, and distance. The Albers, Lambert, Mollweide, and Winkel Tripel are some of the other commonly used map
Where You're From.
But we like the maps that correct for relative area (like the Winkel Tripel projection shown above), even if they have other flaws. We're also a fan of the "upside-down" world map, that shows the south pole on top.

A range of perspectives is also emphasized, such as the familiar images of Goode’s Homolosine and the Winkel Tripel compromise projection. Len Guelke’s startling Chicago-centered Azimuthal equal area projection is also included.
Did I have a map with the US in the center?
At the time (around 1979 or 1980) they were using the van der Grinten (I) projection, and the split was at the Date Line. (They subsequently switched to the Robinson and then recently to the Winkel Tripel, same as the Cram maps I linked
