The Adams hemisphere-in-a-square projection is a map projection used for representing the spherical surface of the Earth on a flat surface, specifically designed to preserve the relationships and proportions of areas. This projection is characterized by its ability to contain a hemisphere within a square boundary, which makes it useful for visualizations that require compact representation of large areas. In the Adams projection, the hemisphere is represented in such a way that the edges of the square remain straight, while the curvature of the Earth is taken into account.
