Unique Map Projection

This projection might be an equal-area projection because the quadrilaterals decrease as they ascend North, but according to the maker of this projection it is an "Octant Projection". An interesting piece about this projection is that it was a reconstruction of Leonardo da Vinci's octant map that he had made.
