Magnetic Declination In The United States - Epoch 1980, 1980



Puzzle Directions: Click on a puzzle piece and drag it where you want it. When you connect two pieces correctly, they will join together. This is an extra hard double-sided puzzle. The same map is printed on both sides the pieces. Some of the pieces are turned over to the wrong side. To flip a piece over, hold down the "T" key and click on the puzzle piece. Mix up the pieces again. View finished map in pop-up window.

Description: Map of the United States showing lines of equal magnetic declination and equal annual change. Lines of equal magnetic declination (isogonic lines) are shown in red. The lines are solid where the compass points east of true north (east declination), and dashed where it points west of true north (west declination). The isogonic lines are based on a set of 7th-degree polynomials. Lines of equal annual change (isoporic lines) are shown in blue. The lines are solid where the change is eastward, and dashed where the change is westward. The isoporic lines are based on a 6th-degree polynomial. — Fabiano and Peddie, 1980. The map scale is 1:5,000,000.
