26. Map Scales

27. GIS 27 Dimensionless Map Scales ratio that relates a unit of measure on a map to some number of the same units of measure on the earth's surface 1:25,000 tells us that 1 unit of measure = 25,000 of the same units on the earth's surface 1” on the map = 25,000 inches on the earth's surface one meter or one yard or one kilometer or one mile would represent 25,000 meters or yards or kilometers or miles, respectively, on the earth's surface.
