The Geographic Grid Ptolemy‚ a Roman mathematician‚ created the geographic grid. This grid is a system of invisible lines that span the globe. The grid has been used for over 2‚000 years as a reference for finding the location of a fixed position on Earth. There are certain components that make up the grid. Meridians run vertically and come together at the north and south poles. The center meridian‚ the Prime Meridian‚ divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres. Parallels run horizontally
