Map scales

Map scale ratios Dimensionless Used with any linear measurement unit,

such as feet, meters, or miles Example, 1:24,000

Representative fraction 1 inch on the map is 24,000 inches on the ground

(or 2,000 feet)


Map scales

Graphic scale

Graphic representation of map scale Places a line on the map with ground

distances marked, such as 10 miles, 20 miles, etc.
