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)
GIS TUTORIAL 1 - Basic Workbook
15
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.
