A conical projection is a map projection in which the surface of the Earth is projected onto a cone-shaped surface. This type of projection is often used for small areas of the Earth's surface, as it provides accurate representations of both distance and direction. One of the advantages of a conical projection is that it preserves the shape of the continents. However, it does result in distortion towards the poles, which can make it difficult to accurately represent areas near the poles.
