Unfortunately, there is no one "most accurate" way to represent spherical geography on a flat piece of paper, or map.
All map projections distort area, shape, and distance in at least part of the map, while having some accuracy of distance OR area OR shape in a selected area (usually the center parallel or meridians) of the map. The choice of projection is based on the intended use of the map. For example, Mercator projections are often still used for global navigation because, even though areas are grossly distorted, especially in the polar regions, all straight lines on such a map are of constant azimuth.
