Lambert Conformal Conic (1 parallel)

The Lambert Conformal Conic (1 parallel) projection is a map projection in which the scale is true along a single standard parallel, and the true shape of small areas is preserved. Parallels are unequally spaced arcs of concentric circles spaced closer to each other near the center of the map. The meridians are equally spaced and intersect the parallels at right angles.   Coordinate systems based on this projection are used extensively in France.   The "Lambert Conformal Conic (1 parallel)" projection has the following parameters:
  • False Northing

  • False Easting

  • Longitude of natural origin

  • Latitude of natural origin

  • Scale factor at natural origin
