Probably the most well known flat earth map is Alexander Gleason's New Standard Map of the World. This Azimuthal equidistant projection of the world was originally published in 1892 and was one of the first maps that was introduced in the United States.
Azimuthal Equidistant Map of the Earth shows points on the map which are at proportionately correct distances from the center point, with all points on the map at the correct azimuth (direction) from the center point. This polar projection shows all meridians (lines of longitude) as straight, with distances from the pole represented correctly.
June & December solstice graphics are located at the bottom of the map that explains and demonstrates how the sun moves during these two time periods of the year. The map's instructions were located on the reverse of the original publication.
