I'd like to carve a Flat Earth map into wood, showing the continents and the mountains rising in 3D from a flat disk, following the standard monopole Flat Earth map. There have been Flat Earth maps for a long time, but this would be a Flat Earth alternative to a globe.
Add a comment if you're interested, and I'll create a computer mock-up of how it would look. It'd be a great thing to have to show others the Flat Earth view of the world!

I'm more partial to this version as it distorts the southern hemiplane continents less:

These are not FE maps, there are no resources to produce them, so we are told.
They are projections of the globe earth.

I don't know how you found this, but I actually love it. It's a lot closer to reality than the AE map, that's for sure.

Remember, for it to be an accurate representation of reality, you should have a distance scale and the map should have 0 distortion. ;)

Not really because that one represents a certain degree of accuracy and it's not a map per se, but we're getting there. ;)

The Santiago to Sydney flight path would be a bit of a problem on that map.

The globe distorts the shape of the world the least.

If by that you mean a 2D picture of a globe, then I agree. An actual globe gives zero distortion.
