Map Scale

Types of Map Scale Ratio or Representative Fraction: how many units on the earth’s surface is equal to one unit on the map Example: (1:100,000) 1 centimeter= 1 kilometer, (1:62,500) 1 inch= 1 mile. Direct Statement: written description of map distance Example: One inch equals ten miles, one centimeter equals one kilometer. Graphic Scale: a line marked with distance Example:

Large Scale vs. Small Scale Maps Large Scale Maps: Shows a lot of detail of an area. (City streets, parks, businesses, etc.) Small Scale Maps: Less detailed, may show large features like highways. Small Scale Large Scale
