Dear all,
I have had a query from a geologist who wishes to know the parameters for
the projection used by maps published officially by Libya. Apparently maps
of the whole country are almost certain to be Lambert Conformal Conic and he
wants to know at least what the standard parallels are. Ideally he would
also like to know the scale factor at the standard parallels and the
reference lat/long.
The only map of Libya I have is the 1964 Geologic Map of the Kingdom of
Libya, USGS Map I-350-A. I've given him the standard parallels from that,
but he would like something more up to date, and more definitely officially
Libyan. Does anybody have anything that fits that description who would be
willing to let us know the information? It doesn't have to be a geological map.
Thanks,
Clare Gordon
