The document discusses map projections and how every map serves a purpose by selectively representing known information to advance the mapmaker's interests. It notes that different map projections are used for different purposes, such as navigation in the 1500s, modern geography classrooms, or by organizations like the National Geographic Society. It also comments on how maps can arbitrarily divide people and be subject to political manipulation through gerrymandering.
