   What if a map ratio was 150,000 centimeters?

   • So if the ratio was 1:50,000 one centimeter on the map would represent 50,000 centimeters (500 meters) in real life. The whole map, at this ratio, would encompass a typical county in the United States. Somewhat counterintuitively we describe detailed maps of smaller areas as large scale maps and global maps as small scale.

   What are the different types of scales used on maps?

   • There are three types of scales commonly used on maps: written or verbal scale, a graphic scale, or a fractional scale. A written or verbal scale uses words to describe the relationship between the map and the landscape it depicts such as one inch represents one mile. A map reader would use a ruler to measure the distances between places.

   Different types of map scales—such as verbal scales, graphic scales, and representative fractions—impact how spatial data is interpreted. For instance, a large-scale map provides detailed information about a small area, making it useful for local studies. In contrast, a small-scale map offers a broader overview but sacrifices detail.
