Looking at your map display problem, I got the following issue:

centerlat = 40.6000d
centerlon = -105.1000d
xrange = [-11711131.0d, -11688226.0d]
yrange = [4914254.0d, 4937159.5d]
map = map_proj_init('Mercator', ELLIPSOID='WGS 84', CENTER_LONGITUDE=0, CENTER_LATITUDE=0)
print, map_proj_inverse(mean(xrange), mean(yrange), MAP_STRUCTURE=map)
; -105.10000 40.410029

I should have found 40.6° for the latitude, is'nt it ?

print, map_proj_inverse(xrange, yrange, MAP_STRUCTURE=map)
; -105.20288 40.331647
; -104.99712 40.488320

Same thing regarding the latitude range boundaries which seem sligthly different
from those in your PNG example (40.525 and 40.675, by eye).

Cheers,
alain.
