Map Scale

What is Scale? A scale on a map is the relationship between the physical object in “real” life, and the feature that represents it on a map.

Representing features on Maps. The Upper Glen Road, the first image, on the ground is displayed clearly on the map, the second image.

How to represent features correctly!  A scale for the following pictures below would be  A: 1 inch = 250 miles  B: 1 inch = 20 miles A B

Small Scale  The small scale map above shows the town of Killarney and the surrounding area.  Shows more detail

Large Scale  Shows “things” larger  Easier to see street names, points of interest, etc.

How do you measure scale? 1. Use a ruler – if you have one 2. Measure the scale 3. Figure out what it is equivalent to 4. Measure from point A to point B 5. Multiply the distance 6. Get your mileage What if you don’t have a ruler? You have to remember it’s not a straight shot!

How do we do this………

Find the distance using scale:  Seattle to Denver  Atlanta to Detroit  Houston to Atlanta  Los Angeles to San Francisco  Chicago to Detroit  New York to Boston  Los Angeles to Boise  Seattle to Boise  New Orleans to Boston  Miami to St Louis When finished, do the teal paper on the table on a ½ sheet of paper
