Flat maps that represent a portion of the round earth?
Flat maps that represent a portion of the round earth are called "world maps". These maps use projections to show the Earth's curved surface on a flat surface, with distortions in size, shape, distance, or direction. Popular world maps include the Mercator projection, the Peters projection, and the Winkel Tripel projection.

What properties do flat maps distort?
Flat maps distort properties such as size, shape, distance, and direction of geographic features on the Earth's surface due to the challenge of representing a 3D spherical surface on a 2D plane. This distortion becomes more pronounced the further away from the equator you get.
Why are the flat maps not completely accurate when showing the world?
The biggest thing is that maps are flat and the Earth is round. Just like you can't peel an orange into all-flat pieces, you can't force a completely true picture of something rounded onto a flat surface. And just like if you flatten an orange peel, some parts will shrink and some parts will stretch. For maps this means that features - like coast lines will change shape and true position WRT each other when you go from rounded to flat. Since Anaximander, the Greek philosopher, first drew his interpretation of the world to todays maps, there have been significant changes. As the world is constantly changing paper maps are less reliable the older they are.
