albersusa: Tools, Shapefiles & Data to Work with an 'AlbersUSA'...

Description Details Author(s)

Description

Creating a composite projection for states and counties of the United States that includes scaled and shifted polygons for Alaska and Hawaii is time consuming and potentially error-prone. Functions and data sets are provided to make it easier to produce maps with a composite projection. Furthermore, named projections for common transormations are provided to further increase mapping productivity.

Details

Newer sf (simple features) objects can be returned or legacy R spatial sp objects can be returned.

Reference GeoJSON files are provided in the following locations (i.e. you can use them in any mapping program):

system.file("extdata/composite_us_states.geojson.gz", package="albersusa")
system.file("extdata/composite_us_counties.geojson.gz", package="albersusa")
