The "'Goode homolosine projection "'is a map projection invented by John Paul Goode in 1923 as an alternative to the Mercator projection.

Common in the 1960s, the Goode homolosine projection is often called an " orange-peel map " because of its resemblance to the flattened rind of a hand-peeled orange.

Many of those cartographers had already developed projections they explicitly promoted as alternatives to the Mercator, including the most influential American cartographers of the twentieth century : John Paul Goode ( Goode homolosine projection ), Erwin Raisz ( Armadillo projection ), and Arthur H . Robinson ( Robinson projection ).

When you peel an orange, you tend to get some jaggedy shapes, which you can of course reassemble into a rough, hollow spere without the orange's flesh inside . ( When you try to peel the globe and lay it flat, you end up with a similarly-shaped jagged rendition called the Goode homolosine projection .)
