USMAP projection issue

[Michaelrt86]

When working with the USMAP Projection there were issues with the projection of points that were any lower than Texas. I have been working on a project and when the data is outside of these bounds it would incorrectly move those points to (0,0). The coordinate that had issues was Step: 15 with Longitude of (-84.7) and Latitude of (24.4). The issue does not seem to be out of bounds of the bottom part of the window but instead a curvature of the map. I say this because the coordinates in Step 14 is Longitude (-84.0) and Latitude is (24.4).

In short the coordinates for the points
Step 14 (No issue)
X Coordinate (Longitude): -84.0
Y Coordinate (Latitude: 24.4)

Step 15 (Issue)
X Coordinate (Longitude): -84.7
Y Coordinate (Latitude): 24.4 (Changing to 24.48 fixes from moving to 0,0)

Step 16 (Issue)
X Coordinate (Longitude): -84.0
Y Coordinate (Latitude): 24.5 (Changing to 24.55 fixes from moving to 0,0)

Step 17 (No Issue)
X Coordinate (Longitude): -85.9
Y Coordinate (Latitude): 24.8
