Chronology of projection development

(See Mercator for history of the spherical equatorial Mercator.)

  • 1772: Johann Heinrich Lambert develops the transverse form of the Mercator.
  • 1822: Carl Friedrich Gauss formulates the ellipsoidal form of the transverse Mercator.
  • 1912: Louis Krüger improves the efficiency of Gauss’s formulation.
  • 1922: Louis Krüger further refines the formulation, which becomes the basis for all modern ellipsoidal transverse Mercator systems.
  • ca. 1947: U.S. Army Mapping Service establishes the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid and projection system, based on a series of zones covering the whole earth. Each zone is a Gauss-Krüger with a local central meridian scaled to 0.9996.
