Georeferencing method: This site uses an Affine transform. Affine is a stable, industry-standard approach that corrects global shift, rotation, scale, and skew without “bending” the map. A 2nd-degree polynomial transform can warp the image to fit local distortions (like folds or stretching), but it can also introduce unwanted bending and distort shapes or distances. For most scanned maps (about 90% of cases), Affine is the safest and most predictable choice.
