  They follow lines of latitude and longitude so straight lines on a curved surface. It’s slightly untrue on the Eastern border that looks like a jagged edge due to the dominion land survey. But it was meant to be straight.

    The amusing projection in green makes it obvious that the map projection is taking some liberties ;-)
