Answer:

Because they cannot accurately project them and there is always distortion.

Step-by-step explanation:

A feature such as the shape of a place cannot be accurately projected or represented on a map because of the problem of distortion and a cartographer has to decide what type of map he is making so he can make the details of the map as accurate as possible.
