Aug 21, 2020 at 16:05 comment added interwebjill The basemap was constructed using EPSG:4326, so I am assuming that there is a distortion, which would be most apparent moving from the equator toward the poles, that does not correspond to an x, y Cartesian placement of lon, lat coordinates. If this doesn't make sense, I can rephrase.
Aug 21, 2020 at 10:50 comment added Ture Pålsson It does indeed seem like your basemap is in the (somewhat brutal) "projection" of letting x=longitude and y=latitude. To me, who knows little about earthquakes, the positions of your circles look plausible (you get them in California, Iceland and S. E. Asia, but not in Sweden :-) ). What is the problem you are seeing?

Aug 21, 2020 at 7:49 comment added interwebjill I have updated the post with images of the basemap as well as the result of drawing the circles at the lon, lat coordinates from the USGS data.

Aug 21, 2020 at 5:14 comment added Ture Pålsson This does not add upp. EPSG:4326 is not a projection, it is a geodetic datum, but it could be taken to mean "just plot longitude along the X axis and latitude along the Y axis", in which case there is no need to drag pyproj into the equation. Are you sure your basemap is just unprojected lat/lon? Could you put a link to the map image somewhere so we can have a look at it? And regardless of which projection it is, a circle on the surface of the planet almost certainly won't project to a circle on the map.

Aug 20, 2020 at 22:24 comment added interwebjill x, y in relation to an image of width, height with origin at the upper left. This is in the code but I'll spell it out in the description.

removed image because it had a different center and might confuse things

rephrased the description of the x y positions on the basemap that I am trying to find
Aug 19, 2020 at 9:18 comment added interwebjill I've rephrased that description. Thanks.

Aug 19, 2020 at 9:05 comment added nmtoken I'm not sure how you can have a (not-georeferenced) global EPSG:4326 basemap. Either the base map is in EPSG:4326 and therefore georeferenced, or it's just a map image with no CRS. Can you edit the question to expand on what you mean by the statement.
Aug 19, 2020 at 8:45 comment added nmtoken Note, EPSG:4326 coordinates are in lat/long order
